[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 513227, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) I think all you can do is stick to your guns, tell her that you realize she doesn't like it, and when she is a fully self supporting adult then she can do as she pleases. Until then, the rules are what they are. Then I think you need to start reporting her as a runaway every time she is not where she is supposed to be. Period. PLEASE don't give in on the instruments. If you give in on this, you will set up an even worse situation for all of you for the future. she will NEVER again take ANY consequence and she will keep pushing and pushing when you give one. As it is, I would probably laugh if my 16yo told me she wasn't eating ever again until I gave in. I don't think either J or T would even try because I would bust a gut laughing. Mostly because mine can miss anything except food. If she is dumb enough to refuse to eat, then you will take her to the ER when she passes out and she can deal with them bringing the psychiatrists in to analyze ehr and fix her and they can deal with her for a few days. I would be clear that I would NOT visit her in the hospital except for signing her in and letting the staff know what the problems are and that she did this on purpose because you would not let her do what she wanted when and wehre she wanted with no supervision or input and she has a history of very dangerous things. I would also make every food she hates and make SURe that she can smell them. I also know that my mom? would have put plates of liver under my bed and rubbed them into my pillow if I pulled what your daughter has pulled. I don't think ti would help your daughter to do that. BUT it DID keep me afraid of my mom - just never sure what she would or would not do. I really hope that you can keep husband from sabotaging this and if he does? then maybe he should have to deal with ALL of her for the foreseeable future? I am worried about YOU because I know how stressful the situation is. What are you doing to take care of YOU??? [/QUOTE]
