[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 208186, member: 1233"] I strongly recommend that you read the book Love and Logic Parenting for Teens. It has some GREAT strategies for dealing with this kind of stuff. And if you don't deal with it now, as best you can, she will just continue to get worse. I would take away the luxuries right now. If you take it all away at once you lose power as she decides how to retaliate for the removal of her things. I would call the DCFS bluff NOW. I told my kid that if they EVER called, they had better be SURE that they were reallly being abused. AND they had better have a bag packed, because they were leaving with that social worker when she or he came. I mean it, all the way. I watched a friend be threatened and bullied that way by her daughter. No WAY. Luckily I told my kids that from a very early age, and they knew that they really really didn't want to press that button. heck, call DCFS YOURSELF and tell them what she is threatening. Ask THEM how best to handle it. Take the power back. I am sorry you are going through this. It sure isn't fun. [/QUOTE]
