Hey all, I'm feeling so alone here...my 16 yr old daughter who is the nicest human being and has a heart of gold is losing herself. She got caught with weed a couple of years ago, moved school, has done counselling at Headspace but then dropped out of school after grade 10. I've been divorced from her Dad for 10 years and have since remarried a wonderful man who fully supports us. Her real Dad has mental issues, is narcissistic and drinks every night. He lives with a woman he met as soon as we split up but has abused her emotionally as well. My eldest daughter went to live with them for a few years but moved out earlier this year and is not on speaking terms with him. I caught my youngest with MDMA a few weeks ago and took her straight to the police station for a lecture...she never argues or complains yet still keeps going back to smoking weed and last drank 3/4 bottle of Scotch so she slept in for work. Today she came up with the idea to move in with her Dad as as she said he's stricter and hopefully she can tame her ways. My concern is though that he'll end up smoking weed and drinking with her! I can't talk to him as he'll just abuse me again and is not a reasonable man. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with their daughters moving in with their Dads and what the outcome was? I'm totally fine with her moving out as she has every right to live with him, am just concerned about his bad habits.rubbing off on her. She is such a lovely girl but suffers badly as she struggles to learn and seems to be stuck in a rut with not much going well for her in life at the moment. She works part time and is struggling with passing a tafe course now for the third time. It doesn't seem to matter how much we praise her for all her strengths and love her..she still has low self-esteem. Any advice or kind words would be appreciated :-)
