[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 392559"] OK I get the upset over the lying. Wish I had something to tell you about holding them accountable for lying.... that has always been a huge issue with my difficult child....can't trust him at all and he does not seem to totally get that if you lie to me constantly I can't trust you when you swear to me that you are telling the truth!! So if you want to confront her on the lying, then keep the lying as the issue. But honestly I have never found contronting my difficult child on lying to be very useful... unless he was lying about something that I then wanted to do something about. For example if he lied about where and what he was using the car for I would take away car privledges.... don't think that ever helped the lying but it dealt with the other issues. So I agree with hound dog, I think I would let her dad deal with the fact that she has been going to his house without permission. The promiscuity thing is hard, I would worry about that too, but again I don't see that there is much you can do about it. Ugh I feel for all of you with difficult child daughters.... the sexual issues are just more worrisome with girls I think because they are at more risk. [/QUOTE]
