[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 572799, member: 1550"] Hi there, hon. Let me try to put in my worthless .02 :P Yes, I think she should be able to see her father since he is so rarely around and she will need him. She needs you too. She is just at that age where she knows it all and the other things don't help, but she does need you both. If it were me, she could come sleep over whenever she liked as long as s he were willing to follow t he house rules. If she was not, I would not allow her to come home. In fact, w hen my drug abusing daughter was eighteen, we made her leave. Do you know that if there are drugs in the house, even if they are not there because of you, you could still be arrested? We didn't k now that until a cop told us. Anyhow, if she is willing to act respectful and refrain from her dangerous behaviors for two days, sure, I'd let her come home. But only under those conditions. My guess is she would probably behave the night that Dad is there. Would DAD insist on it? To make you feel more hopeful, your daughter doesn't seem that far gone. My daughter screamed how she hated me and would never talk to me again when I made her leave too and I cried for three weeks, but she completely turned around, quit all the drugs (even cigarettes), went back to school, and bought a house on her own with her boyfriend. She is 28. 28 is a world away from 18. There is hope. in my opinion you do have to hang tough or t hese more troubled young people will walk all over you, but she could surprise you. Being away from home may soften her feelings toward you. Didn't take my daughter long to start talking to me again. Gentle hugs and hang in there. We have your back. [/QUOTE]
