[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 74291, member: 1967"] I did smack my difficult child when she called me a C--- in a rage. She left the house and ran away for a few days (she was 17 about to turn 18). When she came back, I told her that I would never be called that by my child again and if she did, she would have to live somewhere else. She's done some bad things since but she has never cussed me out again. I wouldn't be tearing myself up about what you did. I do think it's time for a break for the two of you. Sending her to her dad sounds like a wonderful option. As you pointed out, she is not accomplishing anything or moving forward at this point. I'm sorry that you had to go through this with your difficult child. I know how much it tears you up inside. If it helps any, my difficult child was at her worst when she was the same age as your difficult child is now. She has grown up a lot since then and is really getting it together now. We are even building a great relationship and I like to spend time with her now. I certainly couldn't have said that when she was 17. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
