[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 253488"] Your neighbors might be good people, but are likely to change their tune if there are several annoyances on several days...the "stuff" difficult children tend to do. Of course, being annoying is just where it begins. It's too bad you and your daughter couldn't meet at a restaurant. The low cost hotel sounds okay. How many days would you being willing to pay for this though? I think it might be a good idea to set a boundary here. For example...[I]I'll pay for three days at this hotel. Afterwards, I think you guys should think about finding alternate arrangements or going back home. [/I] Will your daughter consider going to the counseling center? It sounds like you are hoping against hope that she will make good choices...giving you a chance to help her help herself. Sadly, there is not much evidence indicating she can make good choices. I understand a mother's need to want to try everything possible to help her child. Does your child want to help herself? Be sure to look for evidence of some kind. What are the experiences telling you? Be careful to protect yourself and understand that its very possible your child will have to hit rock bottom, before she can inch her way up. Special prayers for tonight...and the next frew days. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
