    Default Teenage Daughter Claims Parental Neglect

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Ohio
    I'm asking this because i don't think i am and my daughter does. Our relationship is deteriorating and i dont know what to do. I had cancer in 2006 and since then weve neglected each other and i had my boyfriend move from florida to keep me company because it was just me and her then it fell apart. since then all i do is stay in my room and take her to appointments when i have to if she has the gas for the trip. her and my boyfriend have a rough time getting along and she resents me for keeping him here, but i love him and can't let go. we barely even talk to each other and if we do i dont know what to say, i try agreeing with her a lot but it doesnt help. my boyfriend tells me what i should do with her but its wrong and abusive but he gets mad if i dont listen to what he said to do and i cant lose either of them. She said she'll leave when she's 18 if i don't start doind what i need to do to get better if i want her to stay around but she doesn't understand being a single mom with diseases and feeling alone. If you need more details i can explain more but please answer.

    I get the impression that you're actually the daughter, but it really doesn't matter too much.

    The very second the minor becomes 18, she can leave home forever.

    The rest really doesn't mean anything, so I'll refrain from commenting.

    No one can walk in your shoes. Once she is 18, she is as free as a butterfly. Subjecting yourself to her blackmail will not change that outcome.

    On the off-chance that this really is Mom talking, based solely on what you have posted you are not abusing your daughter but it does sound as if you are neglecting her. On her 18th birthday she may legally walk away and never look back, and there is not a single thing you can do to stop her, so if you want her to stick around you might want to start listening to what she's saying.
