[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 478586, member: 2315"] Kathy I hope things have settled down and you were able to rest last night. As a parent of a difficult child that used suicide threats as a means of manipulation, I think you did right calling the police. I also agree with the person that said you should get official documentation of the episode and any future episodes. I also think that the tresspass order should be enforced in the future. It serves no purpose to have it when it isn't enforced and only sends the message that you are still willing to cut her slack when she treats you so horribly. There is one other group tht might be the support group you are seeking. It is Parents Annomous. I found it wasn't right for me because the parents did talk about their kids at length and I guess I needed something else, Something more uplifting. The other group is NAMI which I am sure you are familiar with. I do not go there eithr because they got real pushy about me volunteering when I coudn't and actually the guy got a bit nasty. I realize that it was just one person but it turned me off. husband did go for a while when my difficult child daughter was acting out and doing dangerous things several years ago. It did help him. That said the most helpful thing I did was seek professional help in dealing with my difficult children. That and daily meditation to relieve the stress. [/QUOTE]
