[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your DD could be extremely stressed about by being in another country. It's very difficult. Also, she could be coming under the influence of unsavory people. She is your daughter. Try contacting her to find out how she is. Text her, "Please call me" and then talk to her about her experience in this new place, and maybe, maybe also about her very concerning text but only if you get the feeling she is okay.  She doesn't sound okay though. She needs your help.[/quote]

No. Texting "please call me" is indeed controlling. I don't even like it when non-controlling people text me that.

Op should either: call her and leave a voicemail asking for a call back, nicely. Text her back saying "I really want to discuss this with you. I'll call you later this week." Or text her "call me whenever you're ready to talk." [/quote]

I can see who is controlling, PP: YOU. You can rewrite "please call me" multiple ways and it's the same thing, as long as you are the one suggesting it. There is nothing controlling about texting, "Please call me." She is her mother.[/quote]
