[QUOTE="busywend, post: 165129, member: 391"] Well, I wish I saw this last night. You said, "I don't want her released." or whatever your actual words were. If she is anything like my difficult child, she heard 'I do not love her or care about her.' Now, we realize that is not the case. But, to a difficult child that gives a GREAT sob story to tell to others. Who cares! Let her tell it. She will get some attention from others - yeah difficult child! What you really mean is: I do not want this child to be released from custody without the help and intervention we need. She needs: -a mental health evaluation -counseling -possibly medication -after school supports -summer care You know that if she comes home it is less healthy for her. She will have so many opportunities to get into trouble. You need to protect yourself and your belongs, too. Lock up everything. Too bad if it makes her 'feel like you do not trust me'. Just too bad. She did that, not you. This would be a natural consequence of being snotty and disresepctful. Mom doesn't trust you anymore. I so know what you are dealing with on the 'I listened to you now you have to listen to me' speech. It is so rational to them, isn't it? Some times I would stop and listen to her. A few times she had really good points. Most times I wound up scratching my head wondering how her brain worked! You mentioned many types of medications - but which ones and what did they do for/to her? Has she been diagnosis'd with ADD at all? [/QUOTE]
