Encouraging words for my daughter

Question

My daughter(18) thinks she is mature enough to tackle life on her own. I have not seen her in weeks and I am not sure where she is living. The only way I can reach her is through myspace. I think that she might be involved in taking prescription meds. I am worried and I need some words of encouragement for her. Will you please send them along.

Answer 1

Just tell her you miss her, love her and will always been there for her..hard place to be..that you are concerned for her and when she is ready for her to please contact you, even in a mutual place..

Answer 2

I'm confused... you want to encourage your daughter not to speak to you and take prescription meds?

Answer 3

put her little *** in her ******* place  or beat the **** out of her.

Answer 4

If I were you, I would send her a message on myspace telling her that you know it must be hard living on her own and that you want to help her out a little financially. Tell her to meet you in person for lunch or something. If she is into drugs then you should be able to tell when she meets you. Ask her to show you where she is living so that you know where to visit her and stuff. If she is really into drugs and living in a shady part of town, you need to have an intervention. Tell her that you will cut her out of your will completely if she doesn't go to rehab or something. She needs the help if she is hooked on perscriptions, and you can help her. A little tough love goes a long way. Good luck! Hope this helps!  

Answer 5

Thats so scary, not knowing where she is. At that age she thinks she is grown up and can make her own decisions. I have a 19 yr old daughter so I know. My daughter moved out at 18 and lived with a guy I hated and I was so worried. She finally came to her senses and saw how bad he was and how good she had it a home. But nothing I did helped. I pleaded with her, I tried to bribe her, I threatened to never talk to her again. She just had to find out the hard way. I guess all you can do is let her know you love her and are there for her. Tell her you miss her and you wish she would come home. Tell her what you miss about her being there. Make her reflect on good memories with you. I hope it all goes well.  

Answer 6

Well one you need to tell her your always there for her. Also you need to tell her you are proud of her because i see 30 year olds still liveing with mommy and she is 18 out trying to get to her own in life. Just tell her the basics you love her, if she needs you, you will be there, And in all else she knows if she needs to come back home with out questions you will be there to open the door. You can't assume she is on prescription meds right off even if there are sighns she is 18 now really her mess is her mess. If you are concerned about her health just say so tell her honey i am concerned about your health you don't look to well of your typeing is off something like that. If you jump right out and say you think she is doing that she will push you away. Also just give her a little space honestly how long has it been sence you talked to your mom? I know me i try and call my mom and dad every month or 2. Well i know it's nto what you wanted to hear but i wish you the best of luck.

Answer 7

i think that you should go visit her to see how she is doing

and ask her how she is handling life on her own

tell her that if anything happens, you are there for her and that she doesn't have to go through life on her own
