[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP please finally post what you think your teen is unhappy about living in your home. Why did she run away?[/quote]

OP - If I knew why the heck she is running away, don't you think she would not be ? I would find a solution to her problem. I don't know. [/quote]

It’s your job to figure these things out. This is not the first time so you had plenty of time to figure it out or to avail yourself of various common resources such as social workers (for your family), her doctor and did you get her in to see a counselor after she ran away the first time? [/quote]

Not OP, but you clearly have no clue what it is like to parent a troubled teen.  [/quote]

So - your idea is that she shouldn’t think at all about what is going on with her teen and try to fix things? Is that what the social worker says too? [/quote]

My point is that you seem to think there are so many resources and there are not.

You seem to think that you can just get your kid in to see someone. And you can’t. The wait is long and that’s if you have at least $1500 a month to pay and time off from work during the day to take them weekly. If you’re relying on insurance and evening appointments, the wait can be six months.

You seem to think that once you get your kid in, your kid will talk or, if he or she doesn’t, the professionals will magically be able to figure out the problems.

Even if you do everything right your kid might still run away or self harm or kill themselves. For those of you who have never lived through it or haven’t known someone who trusted you enough to share their journey, it can be very difficult to understand. [/quote]
