I can't post details due to privacy issues, but I will say that, even after the thefts of the phone (3 times!) and money (felony grand theft!), difficult child still managed to stoop to new lows over Christmas break. The things that she did/said to husband and I were beyond below the belt, and I'm still feeling traumatized, raw, and extremely angry. I went into full PTSD mode and am still there to some extent. I can't believe that I used to feel that way ALL THE TIME.
I am absolutely disgusted with her attitude and lack of respect. I don't even want to LOOK at her.
She has become so out of control that we can't, in good conscience, send her back to school.
She is living with mother in law and father in law until we can find some sort of short-term placement/boot camp/wilderness program for her. At that point, we are hoping that is enough time to find a more permanent/long term place for her to live because at this point everyone seems to agree that her living at home is NOT an option, especially since my other children are so young.
Today we are meeting with the psychiatrist who has been working with us to discuss the current downward spiral (more like free-fall) and our options.
We have contacted her former TBS for help, and they are going to help us.
In the meantime, we have had to install all kinds of deadbolts so our house is like Fort Knox. husband is thinking about installing cameras.
Ugh.
