[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 159970, member: 2211"] {{{Steely}}} Witz, yes, we're drafting up a letter which she wants to read from. When everything went down and H and I attended the initial arraignment hearings following the assualt and arrest, we did not allow difficult child to attend with us. The main reason is because she was 15 and out of control in the "oh, look at me and all the drama I have created...lets see how much more drama I can create here....and oh poor me, I'm the victim" (which is not to say she isn't a victim, she is...). For her it became a very big opprtunity to look cool in front of her little friends, garner sympathy and attention. We did not feel that she was taking any of it seriously at the time, mainly due to some things we saw her writing to and telling her friends at the time. However, some counseling and some time have given her some (a small amount of) pause and time to reflect and I do think she's ready to address it, though I am still concerned about the aspect of her being in the room with him. She actually felt sorry that she got him in trouble way back when everything happened and I'm afraid if she sees him in the flesh those feelings will come back up. we've tried through counseling to help her just move on and put this behind her, but like many difficult child's she's been hanging on to this (and sadly, uses it as an excuse at times).
