[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 326757, member: 6546"] Thanks, Linda-- I think you are right about this. It is time to go to court. I will have to call and ask a lot of questions because I know that they use different terminology here than CHINS. I need to talk to a few people and find out exactly what the magic words are... Meanwhile, our home life is a huge disaster. difficult child comes home from school--usually gets in my face about something (although not enough to call the police over) and then retires to her bedroom to do NOTHING. A B S O L U T E L Y NOTHING!!! If we ask her the slightest thing...even to come to the dinner table....it is like disturbing a lion in its cage. There is usually some growling and some grumbling and stomping and banging and then we all have a very unpleasant meal. Sometimes, husband will ask her to do a chore. Last night he asked her to wipe the kitchen table. Stomping, grumbling and just took a wet wipe and just flicked everything off the table and onto the floor (including napkins!)....and then stomped off to her bedroom for the evening. We have a policy at home that there are no privilideges if chores are not done--so difficult child gets no TV/video game/computer time nor phone calls. She seems not to care... O--but asks if she can stay after school for a special event this week. Wants to know when I'm making Christmas cookies. Keeps adding to the Christmas "want" list. It's ridiculous. She participates in nothing at home. I'm pretty sure she has found a new sex partner at school. So she doesn't NEED her family--because she has this new guy. Still failing all of ther classes--but since the teachers have stopped asking her for her homework every day, she thinks she is getting away with it. Actually bragged the other day that she is doing well in school!!!! So it's like our lives are stuck in limbo until I can find some way to get help. I feel like I've been sentenced to prison or something. This is no way to live. As of now, I guess my "time" is done in 3 1/2 years when difficult child turns 18--or sooner if she pulls something for which she will spend time in jail. I am going to appeal to the courts. It seems ridiculous that parents can be expected to live like this.... --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
