[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 219809, member: 1233"] I am so sorry she is making YOU so miserable. If she wants to be miserable that is one thing, but this is another. I suggested the L&L book (I think the one for teens would be the one you want - but look at the website, it may have enough there to help some [url]www.loveandlogic.com[/url]) because it has specific strategies for taking control back. What does Wynter DO all day at home? Apparently it isn't schoolwork, so is she on the computer, listening to music, cooking, reading or what? Maybe if there is something you can use as a carrot to get her to quit the argueing that would work? Say take her fangs and black clothes and lock them up. Only let her have them IF she has gone a day with-o argueing or yelling at you? Buy some sweet pink and pastel clothes at a thrift store. Let them be the ONLY clothes available until she stops the horrible behavior? Let school deal with school. If she has to go back to brick and mortar school, well, tell they you are physically unable to force her to leave, so they need to send the truant officer to come get her. When he comes, let her go in her jammies or whatever. But place it all on the school. You are DISABLED and YOU need services to help with her. It might even be a possibility to call CPS and ask them for help. Say you are physically incapable of handling her, she needs a group home or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) due to her depression and the way she is treating you. Ask them for help. Maybe if she goes, she will see that it really IS good with you, and she will come home and behave more appropriately? I am just throwing out suggestions. It may be that she needs an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) where they would maybe find medications to help with the depression and force her to face up to the responsibility of dealing with her anxieties, etc in a better way? I hope things improve soon, one way or another. [/QUOTE]
