[QUOTE="DDD, post: 346528, member: 35"] I'm sorry I missed your initial post. Usually I try to reach out and offer support pronto. Your situation is unbearable I'm sure and is very similar to a former CD member who fought a long time to save her daughter from pimping and exotic dancing and drugs etc. I mention her only to let you know that no matter how horrible it is...others here have traveled that road. The others have provided ideas and support to you. I have only one thing to add. If you do not have a journal of her dangerous behavioral past, put one together. Presenting a journal to the Court or social services representative is much more effective than talking. With a written, dated, report it will be more likely that she will be mandated to a facility for treatment. Verbally it can sound to authorities that "typical teen" behavior is in conflict with parenting ideas particularly when emotions enter into formal or informal testifying about the needs of the teen. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sincerely sorry that you are in such turmoil and hope there is a positive resolution available. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
