[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 38572, member: 1991"] Your description sounded more like a reminder than a flashback, but Heather is right - past abuse could be complicating the picture. It certainly could have set you up to be taking far more than you should have to. I understand about police not likely to respond - we have that here - but maybe a phone call to them, sometime when she's out of the house, just to ask what you could do in a future situation, since this is what you have been advised you should have done last time. Ask them for their advice on what you should set up. I think that if you make a big noise about calling the Garda, and they DON'T show, it will only make her bolder and more defiant. I think you need to have something in place ahead of time so you have a number of contingency plans. Talk to a few professionals from a few different areas (including your local juvenile mental health counsellors, there have to be some available on the phone). Hang in there, Emily. Marg [/QUOTE]
