The problem is that it's seasonal. But since you've made it clear to her that she can always come home, if the work runs out, she can leave.
I think you have handled this very well. You have contact, you know where she is, she has an emergency credit card but cannot clean you out. Kudos to you. Whatever you do, don't let her know you can see her gmail account. She'll cut you off it in a second.
She is coming home. I am not sure how the visit will go.
While she was at the WWOOf farm, she 'decided' to leave after 10 days. I know this, not from snooping,but from a phone call from the police dept, from the farms town. THey reported her missing. THe detective I talked to, gave a lot of information that I did not have. THey told me the farm owner(s) were reporting that she had mental issues and to call them for MORE info.
Called the farm and spoke to a male employee. I am not sure what his title was, but he said that my daughter seemed to be on the Autism Spectrum. She would stare into space and some of the chores, she did not know how to do. He also said, when his wife picked her up at the bus station, that she spoke very little.
She was not really like that at home. I asked this male and have his wife call me. I wanted to compares answers. THat was 2 weeks ago and the wife never called me.
Since I had the friend boy's phone number from a background search, I called him. Told him about the police and i was concerned. He said she was in the house with him, lol, and she was fine, not stressed, but did email me later for me to confirm some statements, she had made. 90% of the comments she made to him were lies.
Since this time, she has told some DOOZIES of some lies.
He has asked her to stop lying to him, she agreed, but still lies. She has also been VERY impulsive with her behavior.She is going to get herself hurt, or worse.
Last week, he emailed me, and said my daughter, is in no way to be leaving on her own. SHe is just too immature and naive for it. He has known her for 7 months. He said he is going to tell her, that she needs a break from MASS, but in reality, he is really concerned about her mental wellness. I. She agreed to come home. She thinks it is for a week, her friend thinks it should be semi-permanent. He asked to keep in touch with her, because she has become a good friend. I said he could.
So, Tuesday, she fly's into my town. Sounds really simple, but she has YET to tell me she is ocming home. lol. Although, she has told the friend, she HAS. THe friend and I are on the same page.
I will update again, when she lands. She is 18 and leave whenver she wants to, but I hope, I can get her an appt (she will have to make it) to get a mental checkup.
Wow...good luck Mom, to you and her! I’ve got a 14 year old girl who has exhibited some irresponsible tendencies, so I am being really cautious
