[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 213509, member: 3388"] Heather, What a horrible night!!! I think it is good you called the police. I know I would have called them also. Unstable difficult children don't stop to consider if they're putting themselves into dangerous situations. If she had decided to bolt, the more time that goes by, the more dangerous the situation can become. I definitely feel your pain. Unfortunately, I have no good advice as I had a scary experience with my easy child (difficult child in training) yesterday afternoon and am still shaky from it. It is amazing how very minor things set them off. There is definitely no such thing as reasoning with an unstable difficult child. I think you did the right thing by letting her know after she wanted to talk that you did too, but not yesterday evening. I think it is always much better to cool down and to let difficult child cool down too before trying to have any sort of discussion. Sending lots of hugs and hoping today, if not a great day, is at least an uneventful one for you. WFEN [/QUOTE]
