[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 405388, member: 6546"] TF-- Well, easier said than done - but to fight the anger you really need to try and NOT engage with difficult child. If she wants to go outside in 20 degree weather without warm clothes - mention it ONCE. If she does not listen? Hey - No frostbite on you! She made her choice. That should get you through regular day to day issues. As for writing about wanting to stab you? NOT OK! Did you bring this to the attention of her father? If so, what did he say? If not - you need to show it to him right now! This needs to be dealt with and if difficult child is not currently in therapy - she needs to get there - fast! As to the other? Skipping school, running away, smoking cigarettes - these are all "status offenses". Start reporting any and all of these events to the police. No, you don't always need to dial 911 - but report it...make a paper trail. These kinds of reports can help you get more services for difficult child. It can also show difficult child that when you tell her to go to school or get to bed - you mean it! And, I'm sorry to say this - but if this child is this out of control at age 13, she is only get to get worse in the next year or two. I think you and your future husband need to get this child some serious help before proceeding with your marriage. difficult child issues strain the strongest of relationships and if you are already having to look for therapists behind his back? You are going to be in trouble... (Sorry - don't mean to scare you...) [/QUOTE]
