[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 594128, member: 1233"] Jody, call the cops and press charges for battery and/or assault. If the cops give you problems, go to a DV center and get them to help you make the cops respond. You have a teen who is likely the size of an adult, is far stronger than you are, and is violent. Having fibro means you are very vulnerable and she can do serious damage that could end up being permanent. Throwing water on someone can be considered assault, and in many places is. I was at a restaurant where a jerk threw a glass of ice water on a server because his drink was watered down from the ice melting. The server was in tears, just really upset. I would be too. He was arrested and taken to jail. I know money is tight and the income tax money for next year would be very helpful, but you have to get her out of your home before she seriously hurts you or kills you. The other thing that is likely to happen is that you snap and do serious harm to her. Right now you just didn't react, but at some point you will feel so threatened and scared that you lash out at her and one of you will be in the hospital or worse . Part of being a parent is making the hard choices where there are no good options. You have to protect both you and difficult child from doing something that cannot heal. It is time to find another way to get the money and to get her out of your home before one of you is dead or in the hospital and the other ends up in prison. You don't want that to be her future or yours. It is time to send her back to foster care and look for other financial resources. [/QUOTE]
