[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 639377, member: 18516"] GM, well your heart was in the right place wanting to help this difficult child. Oh how those life lessons can bite us!! You obviously have a wonderful spirit in wanting to help people and I hope this will not dissuade you from helping someone in the future. You have learned a valuable lesson. I would imagine what stings the most in this is that you have known this person since she was 13. It is such an awful feeling to have your trust violated and to have your home vandalized but when it's done by someone you know makes it that much worse. My husband and I had to repair several screens in our home. My difficult child would run away because he just couldn't live by our rules but when we were at work he would cut the screens and jimmy the locks on the windows to break in, then he would ransack the house looking for money. One time I came home to find he had taken my butcher knife and hacked away at my kitchen counters. Those were much more expensive than the screens.
