[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 402870, member: 1233"] I am glad the visit went well. It is nice that she was on her best behavior even though she was upset about the college fund. I am always amazed wehn kids think they can use a "college fund" for anything they want other than college. No way would I have been allowed to do that - not in this life or the next. I wish I could help you understand her thinking as far as quitting her job. It is nuts as far as I can see. How did it interfere with fun when she was in school while she was working? Will they make her take a class during the time seh isn't working? I hope they make her do something not fun with that time, and that she loses out on fun things because she has no money to pay because she isn't working. Can you speak to them about having her NOT get hired for the first couple of jobs she wants so that she can see a reason why quitting because it cut into her "fun" was a bad idea? Or are these jobs out in the "real" world instead of at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? Sadly, if she is a cute girl she may get away with that behavior for quite a while in many communities. I wonder what her real reason for quitting was? Something makes me think she got into trouble or was about to for something she did or said or was planning, so she quit before they could fire her. But I am suspicious, lol! You handle this stuff so awesomely. I am sure I wouldn't be able to still be so involved and stay calm when she does this stuff, esp when you KNOW that they don't fully grasp her real thinking processes in the newest placement.
