[QUOTE="daralex, post: 118950, member: 4467"] difficult child has been saying she is "dating" boys for over a year - but it's not dating. They speak on the phone, go out inlarge groups, or see each other at school (which is no more as I homeschool her) I have not yet been confronted about an actual "date" until today. We never really spoke further about the whole dating thing as it never was an issue before (Oh, you know - "all" the girls date boys at my age mom- NOT!) She refuses to talk to a therapist and is not on medications. She doesn't rage often until a conflict comes up. Conflict is always the same - she wants to do something she knows I won't approve of but yells, argues, rages if it doesn't go her way. If I had to really think about it , it probabaly happens about once every two months or so. This is where the contract comes in - so we both know what the rules are and what the consequences/rewards will be. I know when I speak to her she is going to lose it as she has her mind set on doing this - Oh, and did I mention - my "little" one stands at 5'11" at the age of 13! (no, not my side of the tree - dead abusive dad was 6'4" and weighed about 400 pounds when he overdosed and died) She has never made a move to harm me - she is not violent unless it is towrds herself. She was cutting herself last year but that stoppped after the last episode when I took her to the hospital at 10pm for fear she would cut again. They looked her over, said she was just crying out for help and let us go as though everything were perfectly normal and I was out of my mind for bringing her to thye hospital in the first place - yeah, that helped!! - not! Howvever, it scared her enough to stop cutting herself (yes I've done body checks to make sure) So here we are and I have to confront the situation at some point before this weekend - just the thought of it exhausts me.
