[QUOTE="bran155, post: 212023"] Thank you guys for all of the pats on the back and support, I really need it right now. It sounds crazy but just knowing all of you agree with my decision to press charges on my daughter makes me feel a lot better about doing so. I was really questioning whether I did the right thing. I thought I did, but I did have a flicker of doubt for a bit so thanks for making me feel justified. Steely, jane is absolutely correct. I am legally responsible for her until the age of 21, yet I have no power to enforce my parental rights. That makes no sense to me whatsoever!!! If we as parents have to be held liable for our children until the age of 21 then we as parents should have the right to "parent" them!!!!! The system is so backwards!!!!! I spoke to her a couple of times today. She just isn't getting it. She is still blaming me and saying things like "when I get home I will be gettin money". I swear she has rocks in her brain. She says she doesn't want to live with me and I told her that I don't want to live with her either. She is free to pack her things and leave the minute she turns 18. She is angry because I won't bring her snacks or any kind of package. Oh well!!!! I put her there, does she really think I am willing to make it easier for her??? NOT!!! We have court in the morning. Because my husband is the one that pressed the charges there is an automatic order of protection put in place. She is not allowed near him. So, how on earth are they going to implement that when they both live in the same house? With any luck they will place her into a group home or something like a transitional living facility. When I questioned her lawyer about that in court she said we would worry about that on Friday, so we will see what happens tomorrow. I will let you all know what happens in court. Thanks again my friends. :) [/QUOTE]
