[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 298857"] A few, somewhat disjointed, quick thoughts. When she speaks to you like that, as best as you are able, don't let it "get" to you. Perhaps tell her that you know that she knows that such words are immoral and that you feel that deep down she doesn't mean them and are only saying them because she is hurting at the time. Perhaps add that you hope she will feel free to stop saying them and in the future will offer an apology. If things are getting violent...if you feel physically threatened, don't hesitate to call the police. Someone very wise once told me..."keep your eye on the prize." What is the prize? You would like her to live somewhere else. Okay, is college really the prize? That would be nice...but it is not the ultimate prize. So, if she is pregant, or has legal trouble or whatever a difficult child can come up with...so be it. Hope that she gets to that college...but in the back of your mind...you might be thinking of creative ways to simply find a place for her...perhaps in the next town...or near a community college a few towns over (whatever...I'm just throwing things out there)...ANYTHING as long as it is out of your home, which I believe is your ultimate objective. in my humble opinion, whether its the college she chose or something else (due to difficult child behavior), I would have her out in the next week or two. I'm very sorry...please get support, if you are not doing so already! (hugs) [/QUOTE]
