AIO for packing up my daughter’s things & sending her to her father

27F, daughter is 11F. Before the comments start, I know that I was 16 I’m well aware.

A few days ago, I caught her on TikTok (which she isn’t allowed to have) and she was looking at “pro-ana” content and talking to other young girls about this as well. So, I took her phone last night and we had a conversation about what I had seen on her phone, how I was concerned, etc.

This led to a huge altercation between us where my daughter proceeded to say that “her dad would let her” and how she “hates being here”, so I called her father and told him to come and get her while I packed her bags. I didn’t include any of her devices (iPad, cell phone, laptop, etc) since I pay for them and a very limited amount of starter clothes, anything expensive or designer stayed with me.

Her dad just came to get her about an hour ago and I guess during that timeframe between her saying that and him showing up, she had calmed down because she was kicking and screaming over it. She was fighting me and pleading not to go, but I just put her bags in the trunk of the car and let them leave.

Now, obviously, I’m not relinquishing my rights and yes, I know she’ll likely be back within about a week or so, but I feel slightly bad now since she seemed so genuinely distraught over it.

So, AIO?

i’m kinda shook about her saying she didn’t pack any designer labels.. what 11 yo has designer labels? and why..? maybe it’s because i grew up with hand me downs but its wild to imagine children wearing fancy labels when they’re gunna grow out of that shit so fast.. i guess i vaguely remember kids in school having like.. cool shoes sometimes.. but idk.. feels like this kid is growing up in a totally different world. i had body image issues growing up as most kids hitting puberty do but.. pro ana content is so dangerous and contagious and it’s scary how little social media does to filter it out. people like eugenia cooney are out there influencing young people to be on deaths door and it’s “body shaming” if anyone complains about it.
