[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 210121, member: 2063"] her chin/lip area with a safety pin according to the people that run the house. And it is infected. She is refusing to continue school. I have hit the wall. I don't like this game anymore. We are her guardians and for some reason we are still not always in the loop. At this point I don't know which way we should turn. She is eating herself to death on top of this. I am trying to figure out if we should just let this play out or if we should try to get her into a more secure setting. I just don't know. I don't even know what would be available to someone that is 18. We have a phone conference coming up in the next week or so. Then we will know more. Ok probably not but I can delude myself for the time being. I know they are going to say that she should just stop going to school. I just don't know what she plans to do with herself. She claims she would get a job. I had mentioned before that she should try and get something part time first before stopping school. Nope no one on that end helped with the follow through. I hate the fact that because she is 18 we are supposed to do things differently now. I mean really the fact that she is more like oh 12 maybe 13 on a good day should count for more than her chronological age. Doesn't though. When will I be able to just let this all go. I know husband won't be able to. I did make it clear I won't go visit any time soon. We almost had it out over that. I am on that precipice of not too much more and I will jump into a land of no more doing all this for her. Not there yet. Not sure what will push me over that edge. But I feel that it is coming. It makes me feel so crappy. Sorry for the whine/moan session. beth [/QUOTE]
