When it comes to relationships mother/daughter do actions speak louder than words.. heres the thing?
As much as I disagree with most laws pertaining to the personal lives of free people, I suggest that you use the law in order to get your daughter back. At 16 she is still your responsibility, and should be living with you, and as for your reputation being ruined, that’s nonsense, your rep cannot be ruined by morons nor a dysfunctional daughter, so toughen up, and if you really want your daughter back, then fight for her in every legal way possible. Your cry for help, so to speak, has been heard, and I’m sure that you will soon receive some help from family and friends…
I think that your curfew is reasonable, however, its difficult, as at 16 years old, CHILDREN are classed as adults and for an ADULT 10.30 is quite early time. This is the sort of thing that drives me mad as, at 16 at that sort of time in the evening there is nothing for them to do – they cant afford to go the cinema every night (which is the only thing that I can think of that is a half decent thing to do at that time of night, actually, its the only thing I can think of that is open at that time of night!!) – so they all seem to congregate on the street, being loud, showing off and often drinking. And what makes it worse is that as they are 16 and they are classed as adults there is nothing the police can do – in my area a curfew was imposed that anyone under the age of 16 would not be allowed in the area unless accompanied by an adult – which was a load of rubbish as it was never enforced by the police and also, the main problems are with the 16+ so there was nothing that could be do
