[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 700693, member: 13303"] Seems to me that you could use some additional support. Has she ever been evaluated for an emotional disability? If she had an IEP, she might have access to additional support and resources at school that could help you manage her at home. I doubt she is doing all of these things purely for attention. I am sure she enjoys the attention as a byproduct of her actions but it does sound as if she is mentally ill from what you describe. I would also suggest that you seek counseling and support for yourselves so you can learn to detach with love from your troubled daughter. You cannot fix, control or change her. All you can do is stop allowing her to ruin YOUR lives. Al-Anon is a great, free support group that can be very helpful in these situations. It is designed for families of individuals whose dysfunctional behaviors are making the entire family miserable and unstable. [/QUOTE]
