A close friend of mine, 17, a very nice young lady, has to live just with her controlling dad. It’s terrible. She has missed out on a lot of the female influence that really should have been there for her. She had behavior problems because of this and people didn’t want to include her. She is pretty much just left to cope. She performs poorly in school (even though she is very smart) because she has so much stress in her life. And the poor girl has no social life (even when people do try to include her) because her dad controls her. I make sure to be there for her and I hang out with her as much as I possibly can, but it’s hard because she has no freedom to go anywhere. It’s so bad for her. She doesn’t know heck about life and he is preventing her from being independent and developing a strong character. Anyone else in a similar situation? Any tips on what else I can do for her?[/SIZE]</SIZE>[/COLOR]
She would be so much better off living with her mom but her dad won't let her. He says that she would not be responsible enough and would not behave for her mom. I tld her to tell the authorities, surely at 17 she has the right to live with her mom? The mom would be happy to live with her as long as she behaved.[/SIZE]</SIZE>[/COLOR]
