[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 111732, member: 1169"] Heather - we have called the police for assistance and medical transport. Once they tried to get me to press charges because she had kicked me in the face. I declined because she was just 12. I'm trying to find out if police involvement makes it easier or harder to get funding for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and accepted into the one we want. BBK - thanks Klmno - My original impulse was to take her room away entirely and make her sleep on a cot in our room. Then I decided I really liked the locked door between us while I'm sleeping. I'm going to let her earn back "people" first. i.e. if she follows the rules, she can call her friends on the phone, she can go to practice, she can come with when we visit relatives. Then she can earn back "activities" i.e. watching tv, playing Wii, going to the movies. So she will have some frequent incentives to make good choices. The way I'm planning on explaining it to her is that people are the most important thing in your life. She will be given many chance to learn to treat people with safety and respect. As she shows that she can treat first her family, then her friends with respect, she will show me that she can handle the distractions of activities and eventually stuff. You are right that we do tend to feed off of each other. I have no tolerance for hurting others and she takes my anger at her as 'proof' that she is right and I don't love her. To be honest, there are days...but usually I do love her [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
