[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 363336, member: 6705"] Lost... First of all - WELCOME!!!! I am sorry you HAD to find us, but glad you DID. My own SD (Onyxx) is 15, and has many of the same issues. Unfortunately - things DID go to MUCH, MUCH WORSE, and she is currently doing a short stint in juvenile detention - she failed her first-month-on-probation drug test. Honestly, at age 14, not many daycares will take our difficult children. In fact - it's the age more than the GFGness. I guess they figure they are old enough to be MATURE enough to stay home alone. Well... The fact that they are difficult children means they aren't. How about having someone come in to your home? Does she have [I]any[/I] friends you approve of? Day camps? They do have these for troubled teens. We never could afford them, though. Honestly, there's a joke in my home between me and husband - If I had known it would get like this, I would have RUN, SCREAMING, the other direction. It's a joke... But it's not so much, anymore. I love him, and I would move mountains for him, Jett and, yes, even Onyxx. Out of curiousity and maybe empathy - what rules is she breaking? What consequences is she ignoring? And what will she do when home alone? Is she on any kind of medication, and does she have any diagnoses? I'm just one of many here... I can't say what you should do different now, but I can clarify. AGAIN - WELCOME!!!!! [/QUOTE]
