[QUOTE="KityKat, post: 62199, member: 3937"] I'm also new here and I don't quite know where to start. My 19 year old daughter had behavior issues for a while but nothing I seriously thought were that far from ordinary. She was an excellent student in HS and went to a University 3 hours from home. She had been a handful the summer before she started College because in her words she was 18 and didn't want to obey any house rules. She felt coming home at 4 AM was perfectly ok. We butted heads alot over issues like this but I still thought it was just normal rebellion. I had enough control to take her the keys of the car she was using and take her cell phone. At college she just didn't do a thing (dropped two classes and flunked the other two), decided she hated the area the school was located in and either partied or "played" on the laptop I got her for HS graduation. I had no idea what she was or wasn't doing. When we spoke she said things were good and she was doing well. Christmas break I told her if she wasn't planning on obeying the rules she shouldn't come home. She assured me she would follow the house rules (we have another daughter 16 and still in HS). That, of course, was a lie and after working a double shift at her part time job she came home to find we were still out and she took this as a pass to leave the house at 11 pm for the evening. Coming home in a friends car there was an accident in which she was badly hurt and needed surgery. She recovered and received a big chunk of money. She could have gone back to the University but used the accident as an excuse to her friends as the reason she couldn't return. She promised she'd go to a local college for at least two semesters so she could transfer to a school she thought she would like. Then she received the money and she's out of control. First she bought a brand new car and then instead of putting the rest of the money in a CD for her future she's walking around with it in her checking account and carrying hundreds of $ in her purse at all times. She has totally refused to obey any house rules and has been out 6 nights this week most till 4 am and after. I don't know what she's doing or not doing in school. I'm don't know what we should do either. She tried to rent an apartment but local complexes don't want to rent to students so it would either be drop out of school or stay here. She now thinks IF she pays board she should be able to do what she wants. I (we) don't want to see her give up school but we also don't want to have her try and run the show here either. Thanks for listening Kity [/QUOTE]
