It's been building. There was no school yesterday so she was gone at 2:30 to this punk freshman's house (the younger brother of the guy she was caught snorting adderal with two years ago). When she got home she tried to dress and go sled riding but I took the keys to her car with me while I picked husband up at the airport (who cut his trip short because things were falling apart here). I asked my brother in law to go to the house to make sure she didn't do anything crazy. Then started two hours of her calling on the phone and texting me with vulgar demands to turn around and bring her the keys.
When we got home in a driving snowstorm she began smashing drinking glasses all over the kitchen floor and taunting us asking what else she should smash. I called the police. They came, took her cell phone and told me to lock it up, read her the riot act and she just sat there and smirked and was very disrespectful to them. They wrote it up and left. As soon as they were gone she demanded her cell phone back and began pushing husband. I called the police again but she ran out of the house before the police got back. She had no coat and just a sweatshirt in blizzard conditions.
Now they write it up as domestic violence and go looking for her. I got a call about an hour hour later from her friend's mother who said she walked there, about 1 1/2 miles away. She asked if difficult child could sleep there to allow everyone to cool down and I agreed.
This morning there was no school again and she called at 8:30 demanding belligerently that I give her phone numbers from her phone. She said she was never coming back to this h*llhole. When the juvenile detective called and I told him she was there and the mom went to work and she refused to come home he sent two offcers to escort her to the station. We went in and filled out a report. They are sending it downtown and will do an intake on her. So back to juvenile court we go.
I read a couple months ago that we have a new program for mentally ill and substance abusing teens to get them treatment and help instead of jail and I'm hoping that's what they put her in. He wanted me to give a lot of information about medications she is on and what we have tried in the past with therapy and what we think triggered this.
by the way she had not had her medications in 4 days and said she is never taking them again.
The detective put her in jail while he talked to us and then went to talk to her alone. He brought her to us about 45 minutes later and she was crying....major breakthrough. He told us to take her home and he would be in touch and we would get a letter from juvenile court in the mail.
We took her home, she was quiet and subdued and went up to her room where is she been sleeping ever since. We did get her to take her medications today.
The detective said he has never seen two more whipped parents then us.
