[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 210613, member: 1550"] Hi there. We kind of need more information to help you the best we can. Let me throw some questions at you. We are working on limited knowledge. 1/Who evaluated her and when was her last evaluation? Has she ever seen a neuropsychologist or a Psychiatarist? 2/Any mood disorders or substance abuse on either side of the family tree. Do you know if she is using drugs? My daughter (now 24) was a big drug abuser and we didn't even know it until she quit and told us the gory details .We thought she just smoked pot once in a while (and it was so much worse, and that was bad enough). 3/Did she have any issues as a very young child--learning to talk or socializing with peers for example? All that said, I can tell you that by 16 it's really hard to reign in a wayward teen. By 18 they are "legal." My daughter found very inventive ways to do what she wanted to do. Even when she was grounded she would get out at night by taking her window off in her bedroom. Calling the police to get her, did bring her home, but it didn't stop the drug abuse. Nor did being on parole twice for getting busted for pot. Nor did our giving her no money at all. Nor did homeschooling her (sigh). She had to decide on her own to straighten out, and she did that after we made her leave. You may want to do a signature like we did below. Sorry you have to be here, but welcome. You may want to post on the teen forum. [/QUOTE]
