I left 3 other messages but haven't heard back from you yet. I'm hoping you will see this message. Our daughter is 18 and pregnant due in Jan. She has left home several times and this spring we finally changed the locks as she won't communicate with us when she does this. She was staying with different friends and asked to come home. We sat down and had a good talk and agreed for her to come home with minimal guidelines, ie. calling if not coming home, not coming home in early morning hours, etc.--just basic respect stuff. A few weeks ago, she agreed to cash some checks for a guy and since our bank acct was linked to hers, we wound up owing the bank $2,000. She seemed sorry at the time and said the guy pulled a gun on her when she tried to back out. This was reported to police & they are in process of arresting him. She says she's pay us back. Then 4 days ago she called & said she'd be home but just didn't come. We left several messages for her on her cell phone which she didn't answer. She came by house yesterday & left a message saying she didn't run away & wasn't mad. I called & finally talked to her yesterday and told her how hurt I was and why didn't she call us? Her reply: "I don't know" and silence. She said she was sorry & planned to come home in a few days. She's supposed to be in school (which I don't think she went to) and missed her 1st appt with a therapist which I was hoping would be someone she could talk to about her pregnancy, etc. It's like she is 2 different people. How do we handle this roller coaster? Any advice? Thank you!!
