[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 284052, member: 59"] How do we keep them safe until they mature and outgrow some of these self destructive ways???? That is the million dollar question to which I have no answer but am living through many of the same problems you are. My difficult child just turned 18 and thinks she now can come and go as she pleases and we have no say. We don't ever leave our house unlocked for fear of what she and her friends will do. We have no alcohol that isn't under lock and key and we hide our car keys. If she had the money she would have piercings and tatoos galore. Is she driving? If she is then you have car keys that you can take away. Our difficult child has lost her car because she had a bottle of alcohol in the trunk. She is forced to get rides from people now. If she has a cell phone you can take her texting away until she tells you where she is and comes home by curfew. Does she have any plans for the future? How are her grades? Nancy [/QUOTE]
