What to do when they make promises they cant keep

[Guest]

My 15 year old has runaway a couple of times now. This time she has been gone about 3 months. She promised me that she would be home to stay at the end of May. I fell for it. She came home, used me for my food shower money etc, and took off again. I have a 14 year old as well, and am so afraid that she will start doing the same thing. I have to draw a line and can't allow this anymore so I am going to tell her that I love her, that we need to pick a day to meet once a week so I know she is alive and ok but that unless she is coming home to stay she can't be there. I'm afraid that she will cut me off completely, but I also know that she knows that. She knows my weaknesses and is manipulating and taking advantage of me now. Any suggestions or thoughts?
