[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 600643, member: 13542"] Shelby, I'm sorry you are going through this situation with your daughter. I read your other posts about slapping your daughter and she slapping you back. I am not a believer in hitting kids. I am also not a believer in removing our kids from our home so they realize "how good she had it with me." It sounds as if you and your daughter are involved in power struggles and inappropriate ways of expressing yourselves which will not be solved by her living with her grandparents. You've given limited information, however, it does sound as if it may be a very good idea for you both to seek counseling to learn healthy ways to express yourselves and find options. At times when we are so close to a situation, especially with those we love, it's difficult for us to see the whole picture, to see 'the forest for the trees' so to speak. Professionals trained in family dynamics can be extremely helpful for us parents to learn ways to communicate with a teenager, set boundaries, learn tools to foster understanding so you can find a common ground and learn to negotiate the territory of raising an adult child living with you. I hope you can find a way to communicate with your daughter which will open the doors for love and understanding to bloom...... [/QUOTE]
