This is hard for me. I'm disappointed, heartbroken, and angry. My beautiful and usually smart 18 year old daughter was supposed to come home and start packing for college on Saturday, Aug. 15. She had been accepted at a prestigous private college in Billings, Montana, and was to be there on Aug. 18 for orientation. They REALLY wanted her. She had always been a high honor roll student, NHS, student council, Key Club, Speech and Drama, theater, Model U.N., Pep, Jazz, and Symphonic Bands, etc. What with grants and scholarships, it would have cost her $174.00 per month to go to college, and that included the best dorm, large semi private room with full bath and kitchenette, as well as the full access meal ticket. And the $174.00 would have been covered by work study. She didn't come home, didn't answer her cell phone, the voice mail on her phone was full and wouldn't take any more messages, and she had quit her job. On Aug.20, we received a call that her car was found abandoned on a side street in town with the windshield broken and a flat tire. We aired up the tire and got the car out of there just before it was to be towed. None of her friends knew where she was or how to get in touch with her. She was supposed to be saving half of each paycheck to get a new computer and school clothes and supplies. Found out that that never happened. Got a call from her today that she's on her way to Suffolk, VA. with her boyfriend, and could I go and pay a traffic ticket for her?. It seems that his mommy is moving there, and since he apparently can't be without his mommy, she went with them. And he got her a little minature schnauzer that she loves. Isn't that what a pedophile does, lure in the girl with a puppy? It seems that she spent her money on him, instead of saving it. He's a high school drop-out. To be polite, and to go along with the family friendly guidelines, I will only refer to him as a scum-sucking leach who doesn't deserve to be allowed to exist. To protect myself, I have had her removed from my car insurance, but as I co-signed the car loan, I'm stuck paying that if she misses a payment. It just tears me up to see her throwing away her life over some low life piece of feces like this. I told her if it doesn't work out, she can come home, but I won't hold my breath. I'm sick over this, both emotionally and physically. Anyone have any ideas? My e-mail is: [email protected]. Thanks in advance.
