[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 626813, member: 1550"] If she gets violent, do call the police. You would call the police if anyone else got violent with you and anyone but you will call the police on her if she goes off on THEM. She needs to learn that this is not OK and that you demand respect while she lives in your house. Her boyfriend is a kid and, regardless, it is natural consequences of her behavior that he will break up with her. That is something she will learn a lot in her life. If you treat people like dirt, there are natural consequences. One of them is you lose people who were in your life. Nobody wants to see somebody act that way. Chances that they would have gotten married are thankfully very slim. They are too young. Your daughter is in no state of mind to even think of marriage. I hope she doesn't get married for ten years and hopefully by then she will have gotten better. As for medical issues, at eighteen you can't make her go to a doctor so she will suffer natural consequences (serious illness) if she refuses to seek out medical treatment when she is legal. It's all natural consequences. That is how difficult children learn, if they learn. It's not what we tell them. It's not how we raised them. They are wired differently and are not your typical young adults. It is not your fault. Hang on. She's almost eighteen. [/QUOTE]
