[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 163186, member: 59"] I am sorry that you are having such a difficult time with her. If this is her 15th time in juvenile detention she certainly isn't going to come out any different this time. Is the court system offering any help in the way of counseling or residential treatment center? If she were my daughter I would be talking to anyone I could in the juvenile court system about getting her into some type of court ordered residential treatment center. I am not judging you because living with an ODD out of control teen is not easy, but it is not healthy for either of you for her to come back home to the same environment. Get help for your drinking problem. Perhaps if she sees you gaining control over such a difficult situation it will give her incentive to tackle her problems. I'll tell you how I got through the past two years. My daughter just turned 17 yesterday. When she was 15 she was in detention also. I counted the days until she would be 18 and I made it my goal to get through those days and look forward to a different relationship with her. Either she would turn 18 and move out or she would continue living here and follow our rules. Either way I was determined to make 18 the day I began to start living again. It would be her choice, she would be in control of her own destiny. She loves to tell me that when she is 18 she doesn't have to listen to me. I remind her that at 18 I don't have to continue supporting her. Nancy [/QUOTE]
