[QUOTE="Tentimesaround, post: 650550, member: 18633"] At this point she is no longer living in our home and she is no longer welcome. I live in a very small town in Canada (6000 people) so counseling is very difficult to find. The nearest city is over an hour away and we have traveled there for counseling (family, individual,group, marriage etc). We have done it all! At this point she is under the care of a physcologist there has been no diagnosis yet. For us going to counseling means taking a whole day off work which has created even more havoc in our lives. I have been to Al anon in the past but struggle with that as well because i know confidentially in the group is an issue (small town problems!) Today, I received an email from the principal informing me that my Difficult Child has not been to one of the classes she requires to graduate all term. Which means she definitely will not graduate this year. The part I really have an issue with is the lies. She tells us she is going, she is doing well etc etc. It is bizarre to me that she is on the grad committee, is dress/shoe shopping and fund raising for grad but she knows there is no hope. Is there something mentally wrong that causes such a detachment? Is it drugs? Questions roll round and round in my mind. I guess trying to understand "why"! I tell myself it doesn't matter, etc. I so wish I could just have normal teen problems. I watch my friends grad shop with their daughters and talk about university and it rips me apart. What I would give to have the worries they have. I also am unsure about wasting my time and my life driving her to counseling. I realize she needs it but obviously it is doing no good at this point. I thank you all so much for your advise and support. I am finding my self better each day but the pain of realty sucks the life out of me somedays :( [/QUOTE]
