[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 503340, member: 13204"] She has/had a lot of power over my emotions, but I am slowly gaining them back. I am understanding that I have to let her take the responsibility for her own actions and the consequences that occur because of them. I am no longer constantly asking about grades and homework. Her todc said let her fail, and have the consequence of summer school or repeating the class. We are not going to call her in late, or absent if she refuses to go to school. She knows that she can take the detention for being late, and that we will call her in unexcused from school if she does not go. So, the truancy officer will show up and take her in the police car to school. In one sense we are giving her more control, but in another we are taking back control by forcing consequences. I am trying hard to not let her control my behaviors any longer. [/QUOTE]
