[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 389725, member: 1233"] I am sorry that sh eis with this guy again. He is the one she got into trouble with when you were here the last time, isn't he? I wonder what makes him so attractive to her? She likely feels pretty much pushed aside because all the intense problems with difficult child. It is a natural way to feel, but it sure makes life tough for parents and siblings. There is probably very little that his parents can do about them. If they are determined to date they will find a way. I wonder what would happen if you said she could only see him at your house in the living room? I know you don't want him around, but it would let you chaperone them a bit. If you or husband were friendly with him, acted like you wanted him around, it might take away her interest in him. With all the difficult child drama I doubt that would be doable. It would likely add to difficult child's anxiety which will not be helpful. You might call and ask the police what the age of consent is. Girls under a certain age are called jailbait for a reason. If he is 18 and she is 17, it might be possible to use that. For a little while at least. You have to check though because some states use a younger age. The car is an EXCELLENT carrot. If she "gets" a car for her birthday, make sure it is still in YOUR name or husband's name. If it is in her name you will not be able to take the keys for any reason. It will legally be hers and if you take the keys away then she can call the police and charge you with stealing her car. Of course if it is in her name and you are making payments on it, you can stop the payments and let her figure out how to make them or let the car be repo'd. That is also a carrot if for some reason it is better to put the car in her name. I hope difficult child is at least drinking today. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
