[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 97814, member: 59"] Wow thank you gals. My difficult child would open the door while we were driving on the highway too and threaten to jump out. She knows it's her own fault that she doesn't have her license yet and tells her friends that all the time, yet she doens't seem to know how to make that happen. Irene my husband and I often said we would consider it a success if we could ger difficult child through high school without being on drugs, alcohol or pregnant. We often thought she would eventually be living on the street and she may yet still. I am terrified that she has an addictive personality and will drink herself silly and lose whatever job she manages to find and end up on the street. You give me encouragement that maybe she will mature, she is so much more immature than her friends. She told her friend the other day that she hates making decisions and often regrets the ones she's made. She told us she wished we would just tell her that she couldn't be on the winterguard team because it was too expensive so she didn't have to make the choice. When she says those things I think she may be getting it that it's her life to live and we won't always be here to fix it. She is the only one of her friends that doesn't drive. She is taking the classes but we told her we would not sign for her license until she becomes more responsible and trustworthy. Thanks for you advice. Nancy [/QUOTE]
