[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 523310, member: 6705"] :hugs: My daughter isn't 18 yet - she's 17 - and she's technically my stepdaughter. But, we have to provide for her. We didn't press charges when she stole from us, beat the SNOT out of me and her brother and even her father. The custody lawyer advised my husband not to. She took this to mean she could continue to do more of the same. She began taking drugs, was arrested several times, including once for a DV that started at husband and ended up with him having to pull her off ME. FINALLY my husband pulled his head out of the sand and said ENOUGH - after she was caught smoking pot in a vacant house that she and a friend had broken into - and then, just a week later, physically attacked him - and then, a week after THAT, accused his nephew of unspeakable things that (if you knew nephew) aren't even remotely likely. The first time she tried to hit me? She was 11. She really hurt me at age 14, and again at 15. We FINALLY got her into court-ordered behavioral treatment after the fiasco last summer. Thing is - if she is physically assaulting you? That's ABUSE. Domestic violence. And NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO SUFFER THAT, at the hands of a spouse, sibling, child, or stranger. If you press charges you might help her get her head on straight. If you don't it's a license to do whatever she wants - and trust me, she won't "leave" at 21. :hugs: It's hard to hear this stuff, I know. [/QUOTE]
