[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 487058, member: 1550"] I wanted to add that, although she is not legal at sixteen, it is really hard to force a sixteen year old to do anything unless the child is responsive to losing privileges. I tried everything with our daughter, including completely cutting off money and car privileges and she still did drugs, which was her major problem. She even sneaked out of the house through her bedroom window. There comes an age when they have to WANT to do better or there is not a whole lot we can do except wait until they are eighteen when we have to face other possibilities. Do you think your daughter is taking drugs? Is there anything she DOES respond to? Is the IEP helping her? Do you think her particular therapist is helping her? I'm so sorry you had to find us, but I'm glad you did. We are here for you. [/QUOTE]
