[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 480376, member: 1550"] I like this prayer (it's good even if you're not religious...just take God out of it) God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. There is absolutely no way you can know what the future holds. You can not control your husband's reactions to your daughter either...that is up to him. You can't control that your daughter has mental health issues and/or drug issues, if that is part of the picture (it usually is at that age). You can not force her to want to learn, take a shower, have good manners etc. If you can't make her do those things, she will suffer natural consequences and you two won't be fighting all the time over things that you can't force. At her age she is too big to push around, but that doesn't mean she won't learn life's lessons. She will suffer the consequences of her behavior. Do you suspect she is abusing drugs? Was she always this way? Did she have a sudden change in friends? [/QUOTE]
