The grandparents are going to miss her like crazy, so if the girl decides she wants to live with you, I hope you all visit regularly. First of all, I'd want to know why your daughter has this sudden urge to be with you after so long away from you. Could be that she finds her grandparents restrictive, and thinks that she'll be able to get away with more if she's with you. I really think you all need to sit around and talk. It could also just be the fact that your daughter's felt rejected by you over the years, so now wants to forge a proper parent-child relationship before it's too late. I hope it works out for you all.

WELL MY FIRST QUESTION IS ....
why she went to live with her granparents in the first place ???

is it your parents or your partners parents the child is with ??

and why she wants to live with you ????

This is why they need to sit around and talk, treborrobert.

well all i can say is ..is it her choice ? ,,,sounds to me you are not helpin your daughter ?...why agree with her ??? why are you not surporting the granparents...
ask her why she wants to leave... and you make it clear to her that her granparents brought her up from 2 year old and she will be grown up geting on with her own like in the next few years...is it realy that bad at your granparents !!!

seems to me you are only out to please yourself and you dont have your daughters best intrest at heart...13 years of her life with granparents.......

AND YOU WILL HAVE HER WITH YOU FOR JUST A FEW YEARS ..??? and all the heartace that will follow....and you put ....ITS HER CHOICE !!!!!...do you realy think thats the answer.....I THINK NOT !!!
