[QUOTE="DDD, post: 581453, member: 35"] Jody I have never been involved in a situation like yours but I have raised a bunch of teens who, at different times and with varying circumstances, were temporarily unwilling to follow the rules...easy child's and difficult child's. My gut reaction to your post is simply IF she really loved her fosterhome and IF she has the option I'd consider exploring that path. Absolutely NOT in a punitive way at all. In the same way as divorced parents might decide their difficult child might be better swapping homes..at least for awhile. She may be pushing your buttons and triggering problems so that, in anger, you say "Go!" i'd never give a teen the satisfaction of feeling that power over my decision making. on the other hand, truthfully, if YOU explore the option, find it is viable, and then offer it to her in a loving way I believe it would strengthen your bond for the future with her. Maybe I am entirely wrong since I have not been there done that. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
