[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 412282, member: 6705"] Welcome - and hugs. I'm sorry you had to find us, but I'm glad you did. Some people (though probably not here) will say that's typical teen behavior. in my opinion - trying it once is typical. Continuing on, it's a problem. One thing I noticed with my own SD - Onyxx - they don't [I]think[/I] they want boundaries and rules, but they do. Since my husband has started backing me up, and enforcing the rules himself, things got better. On the surface, anyway - but there are years of baggage with my kids. I honestly don't have a lot of answers - but I do have a few questions... One, has she ever been diagnosed with any developmental issues, ADHD, or psychological? And that said, is there any kind of addiction, mental illness, [I]anything[/I], in the family tree? Has she been in counseling at all? Kids do tend to change in their teens, but this sounds pretty abrupt. Do you know of any trauma that might have happened to her? Sometimes this can be a jumping-off point. And as awful as a family vacation seems... It might be what she really, truly needs to open up. (Or not. But most of the time, I prefer optimism.) More hugs, and welcome again. More people who know a LOT more than I do will be here. [/QUOTE]
