[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 223880, member: 3208"] I hear you. The more I did to help my difficult child 1 the less she would do for herself. I fought to get her all the help I could and she wouldn't do anything with it. I think it was a control issue. She finally ended up at an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) when she was a week away from her 16th birthday. Truly, she really didn't start taking responsibility for her life til she was no longer living with our family and I no longer was helping her in any way. I know your dtr is too young to just let go of but I think you are right--you will have to let her fall and fail before she will take any interest in helping herself. So sorry for your situation, Jane [/QUOTE]
