[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 424220"] What was your daughter like before she met the boyfriend? I think that might make a difference in how you react. If she was basically a normal teen, with mostly good behavior then this new behavior and the stealing etc. may be totally due to the abusive boyfriend. If that is the case then i think i would let her know you saw the searches on the computer and that worries you because you know that is not like her and you wonder what is driving her to donthings she knows are wrong. I would not mention the boyfriend or say you think it is because of him but hopefully she will question it herself. If she has always been a difficult teen with out of control behvaior then i might keep quiet and let natural consequences for stealing happen. I dont think you should tell her to leave your home because in the end that will make it harder to leave the boyfriend. However it is your home and you have the right to set appropriate limits. If you dont want him there you dont have to have him there, although you will probably also see less of her. And certainly you do not need to accept bad or abusive behavior from her. 18 or not she still needs to follow house rules....but the rules should be reasonable for an 18 year old. [/QUOTE]
