[QUOTE="bran155, post: 168265"] Thanks so much for responding. My son does always go downstairs to my sisters when difficult child is raging. He still knows what is going on though. And she will just bring her craziness down there, it is very hard to shelter him or my nephew from this as she runs through the whole house like a tornado. I do tell her she will be leaving when she is 18, in fact I dont think there is a day that goes by that I dont remind her of that. Makes no difference to her whatsoever!!! My husband feels horrible about breaking her phone, he knows it was childish and he shouldnt have done that. I told him not to beat himself up over it, we are human and can only take so much before we snap as well. He and I, for the most part are on the same page with regards to my daughter. He loves her and has always been here for her from day one. (since she has been 8) He usually stays out of it, unless it gets too much and she becomes violent. We found that works best. This particular day he just snapped after listening to her talk to me the way she did. She was saying absolutely horrible things to me, she even said that she would plant Crack in my home and then call the police and tell them I am a crackhead!!! I told my case worker I do not want her living here anymore. It just isnt healthy for any of us, including her. Thats when he told me he didnt want to go to court again!!! He is looking into getting her placed into a long term psychiatric hospital through the Office Of Mental Health. Great that could take forever. In the meantime he told me to call an ambulance the next time we have an incident. There is no guarantee that will get her admitted though, as we have done this plenty of times before, she knows exactly what to say to get out of it. I am so confused as to what to do now, if she cant learn from the tough love then what am I supposed to do? What is the point if she is incapable of "learning her lesson", so to speak. Lord help me.
