[QUOTE="bran155, post: 225106"] Hello and welcome. I can relate more than you know. My daughter is on the streets right this very minute. I haven't seen her in 3 weeks. I have heard that she is smoking Angel Dust and either selling drugs or prostituting. She has also been to Juvie and Jail. In fact that is why she ran away because she punched me in the face and when she realized that I called the police she took off because she was afraid of going back to jail. She is incredibly hard to be around so I can understand how you feel with regards to being cursed at. My daughter is the meanest most selfish person I have ever met!! I, too struggle with how hard it is to love her. I feel such anger towards her that sometimes the love gets overshadowed by the anger. My heart aches as your does. You are not alone. My daughter has been in 3 rtcs. The first one I fought the School District tooth and nail to get her into. They paid for it. While she was in that Residential Treatment Center (RTC) she went on 13 awols her first 3 months there. On one of those awols she was caught shoplifting so I appealed to the court, begged them to place her as I was desperate to save her from herself. That worked out better as she was court mandated to be there and the school placement was on a voluntary basis so there was really nothing keeping her there. You can also apply for a pins petition. "Parents in Need of Support", it's done through the probation department.
