my eldest daughter has left home much to my dismay, she has only just turned 16 and has moved in with her boyfriend, i miss her very much. it is very hard. i am hoping she will return as most of her belongings are here i fought to try and keep her at home but it made things worse and in the end i had to let go, she was gone and that was that. i speak to her everyday sometimes three or four times, she rings me i ring her, but iam trying to contact her less, i dont want her to think im hounding her. the goodnight kiss thing is tough, i miss that and have found myself in tears when the rest of the kids go to bed just wanting to ring her and beg her to come home, but she knows where i am, and god willing she ll find her way back to me. xx
