Sometimes you just have to let go honey...She is not a child anymore..she is grown and has had a child of her own..I know it hurts and I know you tried..but there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough..Have you ever heard the saying..."If you love something set it free, if it comes back its yours, if it doesnt it never was" That quote sounds very fitting for this situation. Someday she will realise what she is throwing away.  |

Let her go it is not wrong.Sometimes you just have to know when enough is enough and let go,sounds to me you have had and done more than enough..When she grows up a little she will realise just what she had in your home.  |

It sounds like you are doing the best thing-she will probably learn the most from this instead of you enabling her...IsisKat  |

If you love someone, let them go. They will realize what they had, and more often than not come back. Good luck.  |

If she is an adult why would she be placed in Foster Care?? Forgive me I'm a little confused here....Do You Pray?? Maybe You should Pray about this...My Goodness...If You're Daughter has a Child..this is you're Grand baby...I Don't understand this post...If One doesn't know The Details.... Circumstances...It is Difficult to Offer Advice...But I Believe this is a Decision And Choice You Must Ultimately Decide On Your Own...Only You Know What You Are Dealing With....Best Wishes....God Bless....T/C.....  |

That's a tough one dad. I say let her go and make it clear to her that this was HER dicision and not yours and make it clear that she can not come back home if she decides to leave. That is the only way she is going to learn what rash thinking can cost. In the long run it just may be what saves your relationship with her. Tell her you love her and send her on her way. You need to be strong for her sake right now. When she begs to come home tell her no. (the first couple of times anyway.) Explain to her that you would love to have her back but your afraid she wouldn't be happy. This is nothing more than a power struggle to the extreme and if you lose there will be no regaining the athority you should have as her parant. As heart braking as this may be for you, you have to play her at her own game and in the end you will both be winners if you play it right. Good Luck.  |
