[QUOTE="buddy, post: 487097, member: 12886"] Welcome. I would second each and every post here.... What is so amazing about this board is you can look at the very same things you have looked at a million times and someone here might say something that sheds a whole new light on it for you... some things we say you will think, that doesn't seem right, then you can just pass on that (for the moment, sometimes it comes back to you though) and other things will be like a huge AH HA moment. Little tiny things (not that it would change much).... does she swallow the medications in front of you? you are sure she is taking the bc? can you do a phone only, no texting? (or does the texting give you some insight?) My sister is adding a tracking and monitoring package (some cell companies have it but you can buy it separately too) so you can get not only the numbers from texts but it backs up everything so you can just keep track of every word. It is your phone, your kid, your right to monitor, especially with executive function disabilities. Is there any chance, financially or otherwise, that she could be a candidate for a therapeutic boarding school? She sounds like she needs to get away from it all and to be in a place where the daily pressures (to her, her perspective here) are gone. She can start to develop personal responsibility etc. I agree with TeDo, at this point, she may have been so let down by the school system focusing on only behavior and not really providing intervention with a 504 plan, that she may have given up. Kids who talk about getting pregnant etc. are often looking for an escape, they think they will create this fantasy mom, dad and baby life with a white picket fence. No ability to predict the reality of it as I know you know..... so maybe you can give her a better escape. With those kinds of hygiene behaviors, at first I thought, well that will be secondary birth control! But with a difficult child boyfriend, he probably thinks that is sexy. uggg. There will be more people coming, really great folks here, they have been my saviors this past few months so I hope you feel right at home here, as they say, a soft place to land. Hugs to you and hubby.... tell him to join in any time, there are a few other hubbies, dads, partners here.... luv, Dee [/QUOTE]
