[QUOTE="onmyknees, post: 103756, member: 4296"] Hi again. I am just venting. Got difficult child's progress report in school...4 D's one F (1 A, 1 B). tons on unexcused absences. Grades had been much better since we started concerta, but who knows what's going on now. She quit her job without telling us (a weekend job at the grocery store), went through $120 (her paycheck) in 2 days with absolutely Nothing to show for it (yes I consider drugs a possibility, and will test her, but shes always tested neg). Says she wants emancipated and that me and my husband (her dad) are all the causes of her problems. We have been nothing but calm and absolutely not abusive. I had to go pick her up from her 22 y.o. xboyfriend's apt. after school and the whole way home she was calmly telling me in a calm, demonistic voice that she wishes I were never her mother, she hates me and her dad, she wants emancipated from the family. It was horrible. The only thing in her life that she can think of to blame us for is the fact that we had her before we were married and so she thinks she was an "accident" and never wanted. I have told her again and again that that is not true. We have a great marriage by the way. Maybe I'm coldhearted for thinking this, but I think she is just looking for something to blame her bad behavior on. Heck she has friends that were sexually abused, neglected. I'm at a loss for words with her. She won't even talk to us anymore. I personally think there's something more going on...some sort of mood disorder.
