[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 78350, member: 59"] The difference is my difficult child has NEVER said she was sorry and has NEVER brought me wild flowers or written a note or done anything to show me she loves me. I honestly don't think she does. I think this is where the attachment thing comes in. What is unconditional love anyway? I don't think I know anymore how it is possible. I try not to blame her. She was born this way. But we have tried to move heaven and earth to show her how much we love her and to give her all the tools she needed to change and still her words cut through me like a knife. You know what she said today when I asked her what kind of person tells her mom she wishes she would get in a car accident? She said it was the only way to shut me up. I hadn't even said anything except that she should bring home her novel to read on the weekend (since she has not read any of it yet and she is very close to a D in English). Yes we are counting down the days. We have 1 3/4 years to go, then I hope she figures out how to live on her own because I just will not live like this one more minute than I have to. She is on a downward spiral Sheila. I found a note in her pocket that she got called down to the asst principal's office on Monday. He handles discipline matters. Things have been going downhill for a few months now. Nancy [/QUOTE]
