[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 119112, member: 393"] Dara, Large blowouts are part of parenting! There are some you just cannot avoid. However, you can prepare ahead of time for this blowout. kt has had some issues over the last couple of weeks over a "boy cheating on her". Now, kt's perceptions are very skewed - however because of her level of reactivity, her anxiety & her immature emotional age we notified our crisis team, our mental health case manager - put them on notice for possible need of crisis management &/or hospitalization. Requested & rec'd an emergency therapist appointment; Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) therapist made an extra in home visit to help kt process, yada, yada, yada, dara we've had to utilize each & every service available to help kt grow & heal from past traumas. Our answer to dating has always been .......16 period. kt knows we mean it. We will also consider group dates earlier if/when that occurs. As kt has hit middle school she has had a major crush/love of one young man; has accused him of cheating on her & he hasn't attended this school since last June. We seem to be in the midst of some type of crisis here - her reality & the true reality don't quite click. School is concerned - oops sorry, stealing your thread. Prepare for the blowout. Prepare the consequences for choices difficult child makes. You & SO need to make a united front if he is comfortable with that. Be prepared to pull her cell phone service, computer priviledges - whatever currency is most important to her. Also, be prepared to pull in all emergency supports you have on hand. This isn't going to be easy. [/QUOTE]
