She was with an 18 year old boy that she says she met the night before--it was after curfew for the park which is dusk and he could have charged them with trespassing. She says they only drove around and talked. This isn't her first brush with this kind of behavior (meaning doing things of which we don't approve).She was cutting last Summer a few times, saw a therapist once and claimed she was over it. We've tried harder to be present and available to her and been in better communication with friends and teachers.She seems to be doing very well on the outside. She was short with me yesterday morning and then sent me a text later apologizing and saying she was feeling down. I texted back and asked her if she wanted to go do something together and talk after school. She said she'd like that and that she loved me.After school she asked if we could do something tonight instead since her female cousin had messaged her and asked her to do something. Next thing we know is that she's out with an 18 year old and had lied to the police about her age and her name and finally came clean after a few minutes and gave them our numbers.We picked her up (shot a couple of pictures of this boy we didn't know) asked her for her phone and drove the 20 minutes home in silence and we all went to bed. This morning she asked me if she were going to be grounded and I told her I don't know what we are going to do. I'm at a loss. I don't want to push her towards cutting again but I definitely don't want to be lied to and manipulated.Any and all advice would be much appreciated. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Hhcctr
