Right now I'm scared and alone.

Last night D13 did not come in until 11.30pm and so naturally I chastised her. This morning I told her that her punishment was to be grounded today.

She snook out whilst I was in the shower and I haven't seen her since. I know she is at Hs but didn't know that until after 8pm tonight. I did text her when I realised she had gone out telling her that if she didn't come home I would have to take drastic action. She replied 'Ha ha what with?' I told her I would have to speak to her great aunt who sends her pocket money and her grandmother who pays for her phone. There was no more replies until she let me know she was at Hs.

I called him immediately to ask how long she had been there b/c I TMd him this morning asking him to let me know is she turned up. To be fair he said she had only just arrived but he denied getting my text this morning. I asked him to bring her home and he said he would when he had given her something to eat.

He then rang back and said she was staying the night. I told him I wasn't comfortable with that and asked him again to bring her home. I reminded him of how supportive I had been when S16 was misbehaving the other week and asked him why he couldn't do the same for me.

Anyway long story short I ended up begging him not to take her away from me as well. I said 'You've taken everything else please don't take her as well'. He hung up.

He must have left his home phone off the hook b/c when I tried ringing back he just rang and rang so eventually I rang S16 and asked to speak to his dad. H did eventually come onto the phone but refused to listen to my point of view and gave the phone back to S16.

I feel sure he will pull the same trick as he did with S16. If he does I will not only have lost my children but I will be forced to sell my home as well. That's why I'm scared. There is no-one I can talk to and no-one I can call for comfort.

I'm not sure I can face this anymore.
