[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]

This is an odd response.  I have teens and they most certainly express when and why they aren't happy with something I do or say.  Your DD has never said "you're curfew is unreasonable, you can't stop me from seeing my boyfriend, you badger me to do too many chores, you are too strict about what I wear....". She said nothing and then ran away, and preferred to be in a shelter rather than at home?  Something isn't adding up.  If this is real, you need to start thinking long and hard about what her issues with being at home are.  How do you plan to resolve this if you have no clue about the underlying causes.  Your DD doesn't have to be right and her thoughts don't have to be rational, but if you don't know what they are, you can't help her.  I feel sad that your DD is out on her own.  I hope she is safe.  You need to not only consider what her feelings might be, but you also need to consider what your part in the dynamic that led to her running away was.  You need to tackle this head on in parallel with trying to find her.  [/quote]
