[QUOTE="Seeking Peace, post: 665435, member: 19374"] Difficult Child has been in and out of our home 4x in the past 2 years. She's 20. In between, she has been between friend's houses, boyfriend's parents and grandmother's house, our extended family's homes, and many undesirable locations. Each and every time going to do the right things. She's had at least 20 jobs in two years. She lands a job, then hardly shows. Pretending to go. She's been given 2 vehicles. First one she wrecked. Second one by boyfriend's parents, which was taken away when they caught her lying about work again. The third being the one she recently totaled. Part of me thinks she should not be driving anyway! Another part thinks, when she has her own transportation to work, she NEVER has shown up. Sadly, dropping her off at least you know she went, even though she has somebody come right behind you to pick her up. The fact is, she has not once done what's expected of her in return for trying to help her. Lies about therapy, work, etc. disrespectful and steals. I keep thinking that doing nothing for her might finally be the answer. Even if she hates me for it. Even when we are helping, she's smear campaigning and gas lighting. I want a relationship with my daughter, but that's not a relationship. She certainly treats strangers better than me. Always twisting my words and publicly trying to destroy my reputation. Just games and manipulation all the time. She was diagnosed with bipolar as a teen, but also with Borderline Personality Disorder 2 years ago. Her biological grandmother has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Her biological father exhibits many of the same traits as her.... [/QUOTE]
