[QUOTE="Steely, post: 406650, member: 3301"] I am gonna take the opposite approach that most would - I guess because this approach is the only one that ever worked with Matt. I would let her stay at her friends until she can regain her composure. Really Jena this is not so much about you losing your power, as it is about everyone finding an equilibrium. She just got busted, and was probably ridiculed at school to no end. She needs her friend right now. I know you want to stand your ground, but you can't right now. Even if she was in phosph, it would still be a power struggle, between you and her. Perhaps, if you just let her work through this, and give her some time, she will feel less threatened and feel as if she can come home and not have to fight. At that point, you can reinstate the boundaries and punishments. [/QUOTE]
