How do you deal with a daughter that is on the run from the law, and lying to you about where she is? She is being real mean when I try to find out from her friends where she is. How do you deal with this?

tough love...It hurts but if she is to survive on her own you must let her go. Otherwise you are enableing her to stay the same way.. I also suggest that you have a strong support system....freinds meetings and positive family.

I raised kids and really feel that all we as parents can do is love our children unconditionally, no matter what. When they are the hardest to love, that is when they need love the most. Are you asking my advice? Keep your heart open to her. Don't judge her - there are enough people doing that already. If you ever get another chance to communicate with her, tell her you love her. You don't have to help her evade the police, but you don't have to help them,either. When they catch her, go see her in jail. Love her. It's all you can do.

If she is of legal age to do so...its her problem all you can do is tell her you love her but you dont accept her behaviour. If she is not of age stand up be a parent its not acceptable if she is living in your home an not giving respect.Consequences for bad behaviour is for everyone in the world not just a few and trust me if she doesnt get them now she will later in life and it will be so much harder for her.

OH BOY! You have your hands full big time. I wish you the best. Just be the best parent you can be without getting yourself into trouble. Just let her know that you are there for her, and that if she needs anything that she can come to you. Don't push her to turn herself in, if thats not what she wants to do she will distance herself more from you. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Take a deep breath, tell her you love her, & let her make her choices...-understanding that SHE's responsible for them... That's all you can do.
