[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 512659, member: 6546"] It's almost a pattern. In response to a consequence she will first resort to raging, then threats, then (if she has someplace to go) she will take off, after that comes the suicide / homocide talk (it's usually phrased in terms of somebody has to die - either the "problem" or me)... at that point, some kind of professional gets involved - either the psychiatric hospital or the therapist. Then they decide that because difficult child has become SO depressed, we need to remove whatever consequence we imposed and just ask difficult child to promise never to do it again and then go take her to do something special to "celebrate" this "fresh start". Meanwhile, if she misses any school due to this type of hospitalization, the teachers just give her A's (saves the SD the trouble of homebound) So usually suicide threats work out really well for difficult child. She gets exactly what she wants, has her parents over a barrel, gets TONS of gifts and prizes and earns great grades. I gotta make this stop! [/QUOTE]
