[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 599018, member: 1233"] I am sorry. I think many of us have been waiting to hear about this for quite some time now. It seems almost inevitable given all that those kids have been through. It still hoovers though. I think you need to be flat out honest with Katie about doing things with Kayla that are fun to build the bond that is not there. Do they have the state kids insurance? I am sure they qualify and hopefully a therapist could be found and would help through that program. If nothing else, contact the school counselor - even over the summer if possible. Look up the name on the school website and then google them and/or look on fb for them. I think that at least looking through Parenting Your Teen With Love and Logic might give you ideas for how to talk to Katie about this. The book Star likes so much, "How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen" or something along those lines might also help. Katie could probably use the books in a major way, but also if you looked through one at the library or read parts at a bookstore and it might give you some ideas for talking about the issue. I know you cannot buy them. Go to a Barnes and Noble and sit and read them. I worked for them and part of the corporate goals are to get people to go into the stores and read their books. We were told that a customer can come in and use it like a library and that is a WONDERFUL thing. There were always LOTS of students around reading. NOT skimming or browsing, reading the books and taking notes. Given that this is something they want, let them have it. Go and read if the library doesn't have the books and/or you cannot find them online. They may give you some ideas to help with this mess. I HATE that Kayla has to go through this, and I hope and pray wth all of my being that she is NOT involved with an older man, and that her parents can somehow form that bond and manage to help her through this. It truly svcks that Kayla has to pay this price for her parents' gfgness during her life up until now. It is sooooo hard to watch, esp when you love and care about the entire family.
