[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764696, member: 18958"] I am only paying attention to this part, now, after reading your posts a second time. But I am tired. I can understand why one part of you would want to keep her out of residential treatment. In our experience, here on the board, what we learn is we have minimal or no control over what happens to our kids. They are in control. Now, your situation is somewhat different because she is under 18 and you can take steps that parents of adult children can't. But the reality is the reality. And the reality is that you're only one person. What are other realities? Bottom line, you need to be whole, sane, and functional to parent. You need help. Your daughter's behavior and choices will always trump yours. She is in charge because she can and will do whatever she wants and she is not playing with a full deck. And you cannot stop her. She is demonstrating that. [/QUOTE]
