[QUOTE="C.J., post: 64936, member: 1987"] You asked about social services....be careful what you wish for. My experience is that social services treats all parents like they are abusive, neglectful, and stupid. N* has run away three times, and I've notified the police each time. I was sure that holding her accountable for her actions would help her grow and mature. What actually happened was a foray into the juvenile justice system, where my child became a number on a caseload, and I became the unwanted and unnecessary accessory in her life. N* is home now on a trial visit, and I am currently lying (by omission) to her case manager about her behavior while at home. I want these people OUT of my life. I can tolerate immature behavior from my smart mouthed disrespectful teen. I am NOT tolerating disrespectful behavior from college educated professionals. I have explained to N* that I will live in a home free of violence. If she runs again, I will call the police again for her safety, but I am not working with the system again. Period. I am not the bad guy. [/QUOTE]
