My eldest DS's girlfriend (lets call her Jo) does not get on with her mum. She has also told me that her mum is very controlling and gets very angry sometimes and hits her. I have phoned SS to ask for advice, and also to tell them that she is temporarily living with us.
Her mum stated that this would just be for a few days, but she has been here now for 4 days. This is the 3rd time this has happened since Christmas, and to be perfectly honest I am totally fed up with the situation.
The mum has now stated she does not want her back, and that she can either go and live with her father, or live in a homeless hostel. Now Jo's father does not even live in the same county, and has had very little contact with Jo over the past 12 years. Jo's father and mother were not married, and there doesn't appear to be a residency order. Jo is currently at College doing an NVQ. She will soon be 17.
Anyway, my question is: can her mum make her go and live with her dad even though she doesn't want too? Her life, friends, college course, relatives and boyfriend are all here. She really wants to go back home, but her mum doesn't want her there.
What would you do, 'cos I'm now at a loss? I have advised Jo to speak to a Counsellor at college.
Thanks
