[QUOTE="Star*, post: 168278, member: 4964"] Oh and FYI - You CAN stop hating your life. It takes working with people who will give you support and listening to advice that seems SO utterly wrong at the moment that you begin to doubt if the you aren't the only sane person and we all are crazy to tell you what we've done to survive. It's not easy - but it's worth it. Oh and DO NOT threaten - if you say "YOU DO THIS and we'll XXX - then you had BETTER follow through with XXX or the next time - difficult child's will think they are safe from "all harm" and give it to you in spades. If you say "Your behavior in this house has become so out of control and it will no longer be tolerated. You will do XX and if you ever threaten, raise a hand or feel it is better for you to be out of control in your behavior - WE WILL call the police and have you put into a psychiatric hospital as a danger to yourself or others." THEN if she tests the waters - CALL THE POLICE - and move on from that point with a caseworker in the hospital on a plan for her life. You can NOT continue to live like this - but yes, YOU CAN have a life and so can your daughter. [/QUOTE]
