[QUOTE="dlgallant, post: 41415, member: 3721"] Thank you both for the responses. Unfortunately, you are right there is a lot more going on. At age 10, her older brother was murdered. Add a narcissistic father diagnosed with anti-social PD who abused and molested her, and a rape on her last runaway and you have a very scarred young woman. I had hope 2 days ago when she made contact and said she was coming to see me, but she never showed up. She's staying with a young man that seems to truly believe that his training as a restaurant manager qualify him to be her personal therapist. She's thriving on the personal attention she's getting from her rescuer and he's obviously filling some inadequacies in his own life. He's reinforcing this negative behavior and encouraging her to stay away from her family. He's diagnosed this as a "mother-daughter thing" and appointed me the problem. My daughter and I get along beautifully except for her escapism behavior. I'll give her all the love and support she could need, but I won't condone self-destructive behavior and I expect her to accept accountability for her own actions. On this last runaway, she stole my car and later abandoned it. The court system understands she's troubled and doesn't want to see her in jail, but they are trying to use the issue to force her into counseling. Unfortunately, her new guru is also acting as her legal advisor. I almost didn't survive the death of my son, and the loss of my daughter now is almost unbearable. [/QUOTE]
