[QUOTE="sick and tired, post: 82066, member: 4143"] HE is the ONLY one she will listen to. As for locking up the booze - he has a fridge in the garage and his opinion is that a drink wont hurt her. he doesn't seem to realize that she doesn't stop at one. She has not had an evaluation. I just read a page on ODD - and I think it is right on target. Here I thought it was me, or she was spoiled - or whatever. I never thought this could be a mental health issue. I hate to get the authorities involved, i know she will twist the story and God only knows what she will tell them or who they will believe. I was hoping to get through this year just so she would go away to college and I would get a break, I thought I could make it another year.but after today, i don;t know any more. you know i have given up so much for my kids and I would do it again, but i am so tired. I thought if I loved them enough, it would make up for everything that is wrong in our lives. Now I just want to vomit because I feel like everything I did was for nothing. I remember when she was little, I would give her basic instructions and someone asked me" Why do you talk to her like she is a dog?" I didn;t do it intentionally, i did it because that is the only way she would listen. Even now, if I give her detailed instructions, she won;t do it because it is too involved or if I give her basic instructions she won't do it because she says I didn't tell her what to do! I can't win! I am going to schedule the evaluation ASAP - provided we make it through tomorrow. something has to change or her whole life is going to be a huge mess! by the way she is taking AP courses in school and has excellent grades - go figure! thank you for all your help and advice. i really appreciate it!
