[QUOTE="MommaK, post: 688231, member: 20354"] Lately there are is no respect for boundaries. She just does whatever she wants when she wants and does not care what kind of trouble it may get her in. Like yesterday she got excited and started skipping thru a restaurant touching random people on the shoulder and giving them high fives. When we got her to sit down she didn't see a thing wrong with what she did. I just found put she also climbed in a UPS truck while the driver wasn't in it and just sat down till he got back. Today she had a friend over and they went for a walk. I called to find out where she was and she was a mile from home on her way to the grocery store walking because the 2 of them wanted food and the friend had money. No one knew where she was until and she didn't bother to tell anyone where she was going. Never mind that I ask where are you and what are you doing. I had to get in my car and go find her using the general location she gave me. This week she is on an upswing so she is struggling to sleep, she has crazy amounts of energy and as long as I don't say anything to bring her back down to earth she is laughingand smiling. Last week and for several weeks before she was down and depressed and raging at everything and everyone. I'm exhausted from just trying to keep up with her and her ever changing moods, not to mention the randomness of the things she does. I feel like if I don't keep up and try to prevent or stop some of the things she does she will end up getting hurt or worse. I also try to prevent legal trouble before it starts. Now if she gets herself in legal trouble I won't just jump in and save her, she has to know there are consequences for actions and decisions, but I work hard to guide her to right decisions and not ones based on how she feels at the moment.
