[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 542647, member: 6705"] I managed to miss your posts entirely till now... But... You are doing the right thing. "Nowhere to go" is an excuse, a cop-out and a way to try to make you feel bad. There are shelters all over the place. Onyxx threatened to run away. We told her to do it. She finally left without permission, and husband refused to let her come home. 10 months later she WAS home - after a teen shelter, private foster care, juvenile detention and residential treatment - and she's headed back out with her behavior. If she has a key, I'd be prepared to change your locks. When it comes to the scene she will make - and she WILL make a scene, since everything is everyone else's fault - be prepared to call the police. Have a copy of the eviction notice. YOU are not to blame here. You did the best you could as a single mom, with what you had and what you knew. Did you make mistakes? My only answer there is, who [I]doesn't[/I]? My parents did and I turned out OK. So that means - it CANNOT be YOUR fault. I'm glad your neighbors "get it". They probably know some stuff you don't. Oh, and by the way - usually possession of marijuana is rather illegal... If she's smoking it at night, she's got it... I have mixed feelings on the subject, but if your rules say NO POT SMOKING, then that's too bad, so sad for her... [/QUOTE]
