[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 457571, member: 12721"] It definitely is normal teenage stuff, and yes it does pull harder given the current situation. It doesn't help that she's since become FB friends with BioMom (against no-contact order, which my Mom is filing a motion in the courts this week or next) and they are probably "chatting" though the FB chat feature during Niece's computer time. My Mom just has to make the call for family therapy. It's on her radar- I spoke with her about it again just a little while ago actually. So I am glad your advice for this is family therapy, because it's already on the radar. :) Mom I guess said to her that She's sorry, but it's not her decision, the court does not allow her to live with her Mom. I didn't think this was the best approach, so I told Mom to try something more like, "I'm sorry you feel that way, but this is where you belong, where you are safe and where we get to show you that we love you very, very much." ...or something :) We'll see. After school today was rough for them, Mom was ready to crack.. but it's since calmed down a bit. I've picked myself up a copy of "The Explosive Child" so that I can read it along with Mom when hers arrives in her mailbox. Pray for us. When I am ready to have my own children, I bet I'll be well prepared to handle their defiant little behinds! hehe :) [/QUOTE]
