[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651331, member: 1550"] Why don't you block her access to her computer? If I knew my kid was texting strange people she would not own any electronics. Period. It's a pretty simple fix. I don't understand why she is still allowed to be alone with her electronics at home. My older daughter once made plans to run off with some guy and if I hadn't found out first she would have done it and we wouldn't have known what she had planned or where she was. That was the end of her having a computer in her room. Back then most kids didn't have cell phones and that certainly made us resolve not to buy one. Your daughter can use a landline. It's worth signing up for Magic Jack to keep her offline. She is using electronics in a dangerous way and to me the simple answer is to stop her use of them. Your wife probably also needs help. She is suffering too; I know that. But she either has to learn not to take everything Daughter says so personally or she will spend her entire life maybe feeling badly. Sometimes kids like this are always mean. Sometimes they change with age. But until she does, your wife needs coping skills (I had to go to therapy too). It is no fun for your child to be rude to you. Therapy does validate and help. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
