[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 667056, member: 1967"] Did you call the police? I believe it is important to let our difficult children know that we will not tolerate violence. I know it is very hard to do, though. That is so true. We heard it over and over again from our daughter. "If you loved me, you would buy me . . . give me . . . pay for . . ." However, real love is learning to say no and let them figure out things for themselves. It is the only way they will ever have a chance of becoming a functioning adult. It is just so much easier in the moment to give in and give them the money but it doesn't solve anything. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
