[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 145788"] LOL! Abbey...she as already in a garage apartment in the FIRST place. We put her in it. Were we live, some of these are even a little expensive. This place (the garage apartment) was reasonable price wise and is the first place she has been in that hasn't cost too much. It is within her budget plus the folks around her are nice. She wanted to dump all of this for a more expensive place in a bad part of town. Yep (crossing myself), for some reason she made a better choice. Since I have an older child, I understand the concept of kids learning from their bad choices. With a difficult child, it is not clear at all if this is the case. It is sometimes a really bad choice, with really bad consequences, until something "gives," and then when things lighten up a bit...they are liable to turn around and make the exact same mistake again. In my view...this is the super duper frustrating part of it all. A parent can bite the bullet if they understand there is a good chance the child will learn, but if they also see that it is unclear that they will learn and in fact there might be a higher probability that they wont learn..just run the risk of great harm...it is sometimes unclear and frustrating as to what to do or how to "process" the entire experience.
