[QUOTE="SnowAngel, post: 84643, member: 4010"] I try to look at the phrase "Gift from God" a bit differently. in my opinion: difficult child's are given to those who can endure the challenges and gain something from the struggles with their difficult child's. These children have such difficulties in life to overcome that they require Special parents...US. How many of us have been able to give advice to a frustrated parent? We are all challenged daily, but we remain strong even when we think about giving up. Everyone of us has gained something even if it is just advice to pass along. To those we have helped our advice can be such a blessing. For many of us it is just knowing that we aren't the only one dealing with difficult children daily. Knowing that is what gives me my strength. Maybe I am a fool for not looking at the sarcastic side, but I get enough sarcasm from people who don't have a clue what I go through with my difficult child's. As far as your daughter, unfortunately there isn't much you can do. If she were my baby I would make sure the group homes, schools and even shelters knew about this hang out place. I would be worried sick. I would write letters to the police, mayor, city hall and state board of education and insist they monitor the house more closely. God only knows what happens behind closed doors. Maybe the 800-childhelp could give suggestions. They deal with abused and neglected children nationwide. I will pray for your daughter so that she might be able to see how that lifestyle could affect her. I am truly sorry you are going through this. I have a 18yr daughter that is flying by herself to meet some girl in MO. I want to kick her. The worry doesn't stop when they move out, but it gets harder to watch them fall on their face. [/QUOTE]
