[QUOTE="Star*, post: 294880, member: 4964"] Nancy, What would happen to difficult child if you did a FULL RILEY and left her suitcase on the doorstep, packed her bags and took her to the bus station one evening and told her "We have tried to love you and you don't want our love, we have tried to give you a home, and you don't want our home, we have tried to give you nice things, and you don't want anything from us but to get away from us - so in a last attempt to show you we really only ever wanted to make you happy we are letting you go." And then put her stuff in the car - and take her to the terminal....and leave her there. I know it would be so hard for you - but do you think it would wake her up at all? It's basically what we did with Dude and while it's taken almost 2 years of VERY hard, ugly and rough people in and out of his life to show him that the people that really care are his family - it was worth the 2 hour crying jag I had when I packed his stuff into a trash bag and gave his birth certificate, social security card and insurance card to his caseworker and a total stranger at 16 with NO future whatsoever in sight and already a convicted felon. Just wondering if that would be the PUSH that it would take? I'm so sorry for you - you sounded like such a love on the phone. [/QUOTE]
