[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 287595, member: 1233"] I am sorry she is telling such hurtful lies. Esp when she is doing the "get in his face and scream HIT ME over and over" routine. Yes, it is a routine and many kids try it. I don't know if they each figure it out as a way to put the parent/adult on the defensive, or if the kids tell each other how it works so well, but MANY kids do that. I am so GLAD your husband is not the kind to ever hit anyone. You should believe him over her from now on - in every instance. She is proving to you and all who believe her that she is an outright liar, and cannot be trusted. Hopefully the mom will get through to the boys that this IS a big deal, and that they can do JAIL TIME - cause that is why they call it "JAIL BAIT"! Soon she will have to move on to new friends because all the ones she has will get tired of her lies. She will also try ANYTHING to get support - she proved this with the I'm-prenant-and-he-hit-me routine. Just be sure to NOT believe her any more. If she is abusing her migraine medications she is on the wrong medications. Have you tried imitrex or maxalt or relpax? You cannot get high on those. THey will make you vomit if you take too much, but they will NOT make you high. If she is on any other medication I would not give it to her when she says she has a headache. You simply cannot believe she has one, not if she saved them up and tried to get high off of them. It is just too dangerous. Are you aware of DXM? It is a cough suppressant and is in OTC and prescription cough syrups and pills. I have only seen it in red gel-caps in pill form. If you find any cough products then she is using DXM. It is deadly. Even the OTC form is deadly because of the sheer quantity the kids use. I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this. From now on you should make your relationship with difficult child a "do to get" relationship. If she wants ANYTHING she has to DO something you want to earn it. Whatever it is. Taking her door and cell and internet away is a good start. Does she have a lot of clothes she likes? BAg them up and lock them up. Keep out a few outfits, ones YOU want her to wear, and put the rest in a bag. Locked up, or else put them on freecycle or give them to a thrift store if you don't plan on ever giving them back. Same for books, CDs, anything but a mattress and a few outfits you pick. Everything and anything else should go. Esp after she told people that husband HIT HER!!! It is just unconscionable and she should lose everything you have given her for it, in my opinion. If she can say that about him, then clearly she doesn't want anything he might have paid for. Sending gentle hugs to you, husband and your other kids. [/QUOTE]
