RE: Daughter ran away
Gooood deal! Yea keep that line of communication open.
It's tuff but it ill be worth it. Hey not for everyone but
there are some low impact family concealing that may help.
Not real expensive and some places are free.
We have a local place we have used and it has been working
with some problems we have had and are still working on.

Also some insurance companies will cover concealing.

Well, now THAT is good news! I'm glad this has all worked out. Yes, you will have to learn to keep the lines of communication open now ... BOTH of you. That's not always as easy as it sounds. Some people just cram up when they get pi$$ed off. Which is fine ... as long as somewhere down the line, you speak up and say what is on your mind...and it's always turns out better if you discuss that when you are NOT angry. You can still communicate when your just shoot'n the breeze.
It's easy to do ... It can start out like ..."Remember that time ... When youwashed my favorite jeans after I asked you not to (for example) ... That really made me mad.You didn't respect my wishes and that pi$$ed me off".
Astatement like this opens up an arena for conversation..where you can say whyyou did it (You might have had a perfectly good reason)...or you canapologize. It doesn't need to turn into a defensive/offensive fight. Just bring itup .... either way it gets dealt with and taken off the platform. Done! Gone! Not to be brought up or held against you and a later date.
You have to make it EASY for her to open up to you. Don't be judgemental, just listen, think about what she has to say and come up with something magnificently clever to remedy the problem.... and TADA!
Baby steps! My girls! Baby steps!
