My 19 year old daughter moved out.

Believe it or not, I know what I'm talking about. I have six children, three of which are grown. Ages 24, 23, 20. All of them still live at home. They want to be treated like adults.

Don't ask her to come home. Don't fight with her. Don't nag her. Still provide for her needs. Treat her with the same respect you would treat any other adult that isn't your child. The novelty of her boyfriend will wear off and she will look forward to coming home. And don't worry about her. Remember that you raised her. Trust in the work that you put into that. You would be surprised to find out how much they really did pay attention.

At 19 she is an adult! I would feel the same if my daoughter du to go to college behaves that way-but at least the fact that she is now a young adult should console you-keep in touch with her-let her avoid a pregnancy fo now, and let stay focused on her studies-dont attempt to break them up-you may cause more problems-I realize you have nothing to do to change her-get along with her interests, but moderate her!

The worst thing that could ever happen to a parent is when their kids start to disobey them. I have had this situation where my two sons talked back at me and it really made me so sad. I cried like I never cried before and I did not know what to do. It just makes you so weak and powerless inside.

sweetpeasmom talk to her, tellher that you love her and are worrid about her, and about her books and starting college. Also tell her she is wanted at home, you want her as your daughter, but she must treat you with respect as you treat her,no more treating you like crap.

It's probably best just to leave her alone. Once she sorts out any problems that she has, she'll probably come back. However, I'd wonder if there's any particular reason she left? Surely there must be some catalyst other than a need to be independent, because if that were the case, I wouldn't worry too much about her--independence is often a good lesson.

I guess you have to let her learn her lesson in life too. She has reach the age where she feels independent already and what triggered her to leave is the conflict you just had. Well just hope and pray that she'll be okay in her journey to independence. If ever she does come back to you just accept and forgive her all in the name of love.

Have you tried contacting her again and having her come home for a talk?. I'm sure she has calmed down by now and is probably not sure how to reach out to you again. I would try to get in touch with her and sit down and sort whatever issues you both have going on and then go from there. If after the talk she wants to remain where she is and find her own way, then let her. Just let her know you are there for her if she needs you.

Just give her time. You could always call her and just ask her to lunch or something that is not at home. It would be neutral. This way she can leave if she wants. Keep the conversation general and just be an ear for her. That will show her to still love her and are there for her. She will come around. She is just at that age when they think they have got it all figured out.

at first search yourself if you've done something wrong or shge doesn't that your daughter get mad at you and go to the house of her boyfriend and talk to her personally without shouting,screaming or anything else be calm if you need to say sorry tell her.if she done something wrong tell her that she needs to search herself and let her realize it that you love her so much that's why you want her wrong doing to be disciplined.hug her and do what you can do to gain her trust again.and most of all pray for her because nothing is impossible in prayer.

I have problems at times with my son who is the same age. He is actually living with his dad at this point. I just send him cards periodically and whenever he gets a card from me he tends to visit the next weekeend. She does love you, but I think she's telling you she wants more freedoms at this point. I would just send her nice cards and such and try to let her make the first move.

Sometimes mom, you gotta let them go. I am not old enough to experience this as a mom yet my oldest is only 2 but I remember as a teenage girl myself. I moved out right after my 18th birthday and regretted every minute of it. All you can do is keep in touch with her and remind her you do care. No matter what you will always be her mom. She still loves you but needs to spread her wings a little bit. Trust me there will come a time when she learns that she still needs you and its going to come up soon if she is going off to college. Books, rent, etc. does not pay itself. Though it hurts, relax, it will be fine eventually.

Well, teen agers do want to be independent sometimes without realizing that mom is still important in their lives. Just let her feel that you care and she is always welcome when she is ready to come home. It is sad that some teen agers are like that but you are not alone. There are many parents who have this problem and later on their children do realize it and come home.
