[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 112239, member: 1233"] WOW! Sounds like you have your hands full. It really sounds like this kid needs to be evaluated. Has she seen a psychiatrist or psychologist? Any type of evaluation for ADHD, bipolar, anything? IF not I would suggest finding a doctor to help. Neuropsychs are supposed to do very good testing. If she has problems at school are they not doing the work or learning disabilities? Has anyone CHECKED for LDs? Do not feel bad, you or her bioparents. Many kids do not get tested for one reason or another. You need a behavior contract. There are examples in the forums, or ask in Teens and Sub Abuse. No violence can be tolerated. If her dad won't call the police for violence against you or other children in the house (or animals), then YOU have to. It is just a responsibility. No suicide threat should be tolerated. Call her bluff and have her committed involuntarily if she is a harm to herself or others. My son HATED the psychiatric hospital, learned NEVER to say/write that where I could hear/find it. I didn't tolerate it from his dad, I won't from him!!! Go to [url="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]http://www.loveandlogic.com[/url] ASAP. in my humble opinion it is an awesome way for parents to learn to be consistent and to teach their kids the lessons they need to know in the real world. They have many books. They also have the books on audio, so if that is easier, go for it. They have free downloads and all sorts of stuff. The Explosive Child is also a great book. One I think is useful if you look at the family as a business with the product being children who contribute to society in a healthy way is Zapp! The lightening of empowerment. It really helped me with my kids. Taught me to collaborate with them on rules and chores, then they were more willing to do them. I hope you can work this out. sounds like no fun. Dare I say, "Happy New Year"? Sending hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
