[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 324937, member: 1550"] Is this your daughter's biological father? After all, she is his responsibility too. Also, in two years, when she turns eighteen, she will become her own responsibility. What kind of help is it that you want from us? I had a difficult teen. By sixteen there was little I could do because she managed to undo everything we tried and no mental health person would help her without her consent. A few things helped a bit: We never paid for her car insurance or gas so she had to work, and she did. In spite of taking drugs, she did a good job at work too. Go figure. (Is your child drinking or taking drugs? Usually they only own up to pot, so, if she says pot, consider that it may be more). Another thing we did was homeschool her to minimize her contact with her peers. That only helped a tad. She managed to get out of the house when we were sleeping. There are RTCs but I don't know if they will take her at her age unless it is court ordered. I'm sorry I couldn't help more. Others will come along. By the way, to give you hope, my daughter is 25 and hasn't been a problem for a long time. She's a good young adult and productive. [/QUOTE]
