[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 500689, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) I know this is a very stressful time and am so proud of you for making sure that she knows that things will NEVER be the same because her issues. Her concept of "never" probably isn't realistic, but you still need to be honest with her about this. I am not sure what co-conservatorship is. I do think you need to be SURE that the atty is not just looking out for your daughter's best interest, as in being HER atty, but is also aware that YOU as her parents need to be protected legally from the financial repercussions of any further behavior. You are doing all you can to make sure she isn't able to abuse anyone else but you MUST protect yourselves legally and financially from lawsuits from her victims. I am probably hyper-aware of this because the city we lived in when Wiz was young is INCREDIBLY lawsuit crazy. You may HAVE to refuse to take her home if they insist on discharging her. Sadly it may be the only way to get the help she needs. I would limit visits from the other kids for quite a long time and keep ALL visits short. It does not sound like she has any concept of how she has damaged others, and this means you have to do whatever you can to try to help her while she is still a minor, even if it means taking drastic steps to get help. You are doing a great job of this! [/QUOTE]
