[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 439776, member: 84"] Janet is right. I know her behavior is difficult child right now, but since she was a easy child before this all started, chances are she'll eventually snap out of it. Even many difficult children eventually come to their senses. It could be a mood disorder, sometimes they don't kick in to where they slap you across the face until the teen years. I think it's because of all the raging hormones myself. Tends to kick things into high gear. But it seems to me, unless I've finally officially become OLD, that teens seem to feed off drama and angst much more than they ever did. I know back when I was a teen we had plenty of those that did it, but they seemed somewhat balanced out by those who didn't. These days........it seems like nearly all the kids are doing it. Maybe it's all the so called reality shows and such.......who knows. These days it seems to be all about extremes. And while when I was a teen, we were certainly no angels, very few kids went to the extremes of today's teens. I've seen many a kid take the nose dive into gfgdom, especially during the teen years. Many (because they're my kids ages and it's a small town) seem to have turned back around again and are doing well now. Some had mental disorders, most didn't. Some had awful childhoods, most didn't. I know it's frustrating for you. And it has to be doubly so with head in the sand dad running interference for her because all he's doing is making it take longer for her to learn what she needs to learn. ugh Hopefully he'll get a clue soon.
