[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 557420, member: 1722"] Hello and welcome. I'm sorry your teen is giving your family such a hard time. You sound like you've done all you can and nothing has worked. She's 17... turn the tables on her before she's 18. Ask her, if she's your "equal", exactly where she plans to live when she's 18 and how she will support herself. Get a calendar and start a countdown until 18. Write up a note and have the mortgage or lease holder sign it saying she is "evicted" as of this date (birthay) and record the note being given to her electronically. Call her birthday "independence day". Inform her father she will no longer be living there as of 18 plus one day, he can deal with her. The sad fact is, there is not much you can do to compel a 17 year to do anything... medication compliance, attend school, or even be civil etc. All you can do is let the school of hard knocks educate them and cover your own backside in the meantime.
