I don't want to lose track of you because I think you can help me in these next few years with difficult child. What you said about when you stopped trying to change her she changed herself made so much sense. I have to work on that. I've been trying to do that but I have to really concentrate on it now.
We have told our difficult child the same tyhing, either she will be in colege, working or out of the house. I am fully prepared for her being out of the house if that's what she chooses. She did give up many of her loser friends and just like you said, most all of them have either quit school, become pregnant, been sent to detention or jail or have moved out of their houses. She is starting to see that.
I am very worried about the driving issue. I don't trust her either to follow the laws of the road or to be responsible with my car and we won't buy her her own yet. I won't know where she is or what she's doing any longer. How did you handle that?
