[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 731045, member: 1550"] I am so sorry. If you want to totally cut off your daughter at 18 I don't blame you. She sounds awful. Nobody even at 16 can get help if they refuse it. That's too old to force it. You can't try if she won't try. Nobody, even a parent, can force another person to be different or ac accept help. I would keep paying for her to stay out of the house. She is clearly imposdsble to live with in your home for now. Or you can try to send her to boarding school for emotionally disturbed teens or a 24/7 treatment center. She is not your regular high needs teen. She is beyond that and already contributed to a divorce, a suicide, and your son's grief. Don't listen to helpful "friends" and "family" who never lived with somebody like her. Do get therapy for yourself...you have had such trauma as has your son. Does your daughter act griefstricken or not? I am sorry you have this on your plate. You lived with your daughter. You know best if it is possible for her to be safe in your family. Sixteen years olds are not legal adults but are old enough to ruin an entire family's life. Don't let her do anymore damage. Do not let her put you or your son in the dark place she put your ex in. Take good care of yourself and your son and ignore people who don't get it (most people). We adopted a child psychopath who killed animals and molested our younger kids. He should not have been put in a family, any family. We hate to think that children can be dangerous but some are. This child is gone from our life. He was too dangerous for family and even community life. Don't feel guilty. I send you light and love. [/QUOTE]
