[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 365604, member: 3208"] Yes, mine does too. And she does the same thing--crying, carrying on, etc. A couple months after she was home from her Residential Treatment Center (RTC) she was out and she didn't come home when she was supposed to. Now, before the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that would have been no surprise but she had been behaving pretty well since she had come home. She finally did get home a few hours late and was crying and told me she had been raped. Well, now it seems stupid that I believed her but at the time I bought the whole story. We took her to the hospital, she saw a detective at the police station, showed him where it happened, etc. But after an investigation the detective dropped the case and was very clear that if you lie about something like this you can get in trouble with the law. I was so upset--this supposedly happened the day before her 17th birthday. As time went on I began doubting the truth of it and little pieces came out--like she had been drinking and went off with some boys in the woods, etc. Then, a couple of years later she supposedly was raped again. We took her to the hospital, etc. and the police officer involved this time took aside and told us that the story she told was impossible--she would have had to climb a wall way taller than herself, lots of stuff didn't add up. I'm not sure why she was saying she was raped--at the time she lived with her boyfriend. She wasn't in trouble with us--maybe she was in trouble with him. Anyway, I empathize with you. Counseling never helped our dtr--she was in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) at age 16 and a dual diagnosis rehab at age 17. She also did years of outpatient counseling. She was awfully good at snowing her therapists, I will say that much. She is now 22 and still lying--but she lives a long distance from me and most of the time it doesn't really matter. I did get caught up in her drama recently--it is easy to get sucked back in when you think maybe this time it is different. Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
