[QUOTE="Fran, post: 351846, member: 3"] Lisa, I think what you did say was parenting because regardless of how big of a butt head difficult child is being, she knows you love her regardless. I would not pick this time to be detached. She is trying to turn the attention around from her bad behavior by attacking you. None of us are perfect parents but you did not leave your children no matter how much you may have wanted to leave husband. You wouldn't abandon your children. If she chose to attempt self harm and she didn't share why would she blame you if you didn't know? By the teen years most parents are not hooked at the hip with their child. She made a series of choices that you disagreed with, yet helped her raise her baby. She is beating you up because she knows she is wrong to sleep around and abandon her child simply because it feels good. One minute she is pregnant, then she isn't. One minute she wants to leave Aubrey's dad but doesn't. One minute she wants school and another she won't finish what she starts. See a pattern? This is no way about you. Last I checked watching tv, playing on the computer or reading a book isn't illegal. Sometimes we try to disappear into an alternative world and it can even become an addiction. You still didn't abandon your children and you were there for her when she needed it. I've made many mistakes in my life as I'm sure you have but don't let her deflect the subject from her to you.
