[QUOTE="Centurion, post: 491190, member: 11968"] Thanks Hugs Both my daughter and son have lived with me since split. Daughter was 6 and son 3. My how time has flown. We moved after the split 3 hours North and had a pretty good life. Kids adjusted just fine. I lucked into a great job in a town 4 hours to the west and seem to be pulling off most of the logistics of raising two children in a new town whilst assimilating a giant learning curve for work. We are OK with meeting new folks and this town has good people. There are lots of drugs here like most towns unfortunately. I don't run ragged trying to hide her from society. Just try to give her slogans of wisdom. I stay up on her safety in a responsible way. She swears like a biker when she's having a bad day and she is defiant when i ask her to do anything. After her blowouts, she typically treats me as if nothing happened. I sometimes think of the old Sibil[sic] novel. Just tonight she had a blow out throwing a clock radio at her bedroom door which has glass panels and one got broken. She was deep into a texting and a voice exchange on her Blackberry. So again the drama filled teeny-booper soap opera is alive and well. I did not freak out at her destroying yet another piece of the house that I worked so hard for as a single parent. I don't know hjow to discipline her. I think she needs professional help badly. I don't want her to run to her mom. It will jeopardize all that I worked for financially and logistically. I am preying for a miracle that she will someday turn the light bulb back on. I am trying to get siome stratgey on what to do. I have a councillor but she and anotehr one I went to just like to talk. No action plan. Daughter won't even consider talking to someone. i tried 3 times now. I asked the school councillor to look into things and she did but seemed to be enamored with my girl and basically brushed me off. I'm not good at articulating my point of view. My daughter is defiant, disrespectful and a manipulator. She appears to have very few life skills and can't handle pressure like a school assignment these days. She wants to home school herself. She is athletic, pretty and can be very sweet. She seems very shy in public. Her Gr 8 teacher said she got ribbed a lot in class and did not handle it well. Sorry I'm throwing it all out there.
