[QUOTE="ps47714, post: 430870, member: 12025"] Daughter, age 16 So, I could probably write a book as I'm at my wits end. I just don't know what to do. I know, from reading this board, that advice may be right at a keyboard's length. Daughter decided she didn't want to go back to school. Been out of school for three weeks. I take her there, she waits around, leaves, skips. My rights in NC? None. Law said, "You can't make her go to school. There's nothing we can do". Really? Thanks NC for taking the law out of my hands, but also for adding in, "You can't make her go to school, but you are responsible for her until she's 18". So basically, I'm responsible for a teenager who dropped out of school, who disrespects house rules, tears things up, threatens me, repeatedly tells me she hates me, twists my hands in awkward positions because I took her iPod away. Thanks NC, I wish I never moved here. Thanks for saying they are legal adults, but that I'm still responsible for her until she's 18. Thank you NC for nothing. What are my options? Law won't help me. I'm miserable in my own home, walking on eggshells, fights at 4am when I come in from work because she thinks it's perfectly okay to scream at me at the top of her lungs, throw stuff around in my house, slam doors, and wake the neighbors up, but NC says, "You are responsible for this child until she's 18, but there's nothing we can do". What are my options? I'm just lost. I can't believe she's done this. She won't go to therapy. Last time, she just sat there, wasting my money since I don't qualify for state aid and don't make enough to afford insurance. I'm just, ugh! Please help. Someone? I can't keep living like this...
