[QUOTE="confused_n_tx, post: 40922, member: 3716"] THANK YOU for replying. I have a LOT of people to back me up - all her docs, the 3 times she has been hospitalized, my aunt, grandparants, dad, counselors, and more I can't think of right now. Why is it that you have to HIDE feelings when dealing with the police? I can PRETEND to be calm, but I am truly upset. I just think it's silly. As long as it's not violent - just tears and a upset voice. Not only do I have to deal with this out-of-control teen, but I have to remember not to show any feelings. To me THAT is crazy. Anyway it's only 16 months until her 18th birthday. Did CPS tell you there wasn't a case open before they came out? I have always put being a mother first - it's all I ever wanted to do or be. I have read all the books, taken many classes, all so that I would be a better mom than mine was. I don't drink, smoke, cuss or call her names, even in a fight. I am NOT saying look how good I am, I am just saying look how hard I have tried at being a good mom and that I never took the job lightly. I do get stressed when she takes my car in the middle of the night at 13. And when I talk to the police it's kinda hard to hide it and talk like I'm talking about the weather. Everything thing I have read and learned has said let the child learn by their own consequences, but that just didn't seem to work in our case. She chooses not to go to school - I have to PAY for the days she's missed. That is how every thing has gone. I have done the tough-love thing and seen her many times in schackles. You would think the first time would have worked but it didn't. But then again she refuses to take her medications. It's really beginning to feel hopeless at this point. [/QUOTE]
