[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 275780, member: 6546"] Only those who parent difficult children can understand this dilemma.... I've heard it said that no matter how bizarre, illogical or unsettling a thing is--once you experience it a few times it becomes "normal". husband and I had thought it best to advise the parents of the other kids that have been sneaking out with my daughter in the middle of the night and exchanging notes about knives and killing and God knows what else.... BUT I have been advised that perhaps it is best just to keep my mouth shut, since it will give those other parents the opportunity to press charges against my daughter for "Endangering the Welfare of a Minor".... AND it is possible that all those kids are participating in some sort of fantasy/role playing game that is perfectly "normal". I don't even know what's real anymore.... I've heard my daughter make threats to kill me while I slept so often, I just assume that she means it. We sleep with the bedroom doors locked and the dogs under the bed. That's the "norm" in my house.... It's just so surreal.... Maybe I am the one who is crazy? --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
