[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 211899, member: 5941"] Bran, I just have to send you hugs and pat you on the back for being strong enough to do something that just so goes against what nurturing parents want to do. I am so proud of you and your husband for taking a stand now, while she's only 17, because if you let this slide you'll never have a moment's peace of mind, wondering what she's up to. The fact that she is unrepentant tells me that she needs a real, hard wake-up call. I am dancing on the edge of a scenario like this with two kids, not one, and it's so hard to fight the urge to comfort your child when they are in distress, but it just prolongs the situation and makes it harder later on to make them understnad you're serious. If they did this to a stranger they'd be up on charges, so why is it okay to do it to you? I feel your distress but I also admire your ability to stand back and look at your situation, as painful as it is, and to do the thing that is hardest but will hopefully help turn your child's behavior. Best of luck to you in the coming days. I hope you can get some physical rest while she's away. [/QUOTE]
