[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 543402"] {Hugs} dear friend. You know, I agree that 18 isn't a magic number. In a lot of ways, you just trade the ills of having a minor difficult child for the ills of having an adult difficult child. That said-you have a good head on your shoulders. You are so much further ahead than I am even now; and miles ahead of who I was when when difficult child was a minor. What I am reading in your post is that you haven't been able to do anything to fix her/stop her/get thru to her. Yet there is the expectation that you must keep at it-bc she is a minor. At least at 18 you can give up that societal illusion of duty. Because we all know that it isn't lack of parenting or caring that got our kids where they are. {{{hugs}}} [/QUOTE]
