[QUOTE="Fran, post: 410917, member: 3"] I don't get why you would add fuel to this family dynamic by locking the two of them in the same car and forcing you and husband to ride along. I know you want to have normal family outings but this is torture or maybe self abuse for you and husband. If things don't improve you may have to consider separating them. Neither of them are functioning from a healthy spot. Daughter held it all together for years but she has been really dysfunctional for the last 2 or 3 yrs. It's unfortunate that there is not a therapeutic person who can be there everyday to arbitrate so that you and husband didn't have to be therapeutic in addition to the job of parenting. There is no doubt that you have a really difficult situation. If you and husband decide that your family time in the car has to happen, I would put difficult child in the front seat with husband and you sit with daughter in the back seat. As a side note, any chance she can get away from everyone for spring break? Maybe visiting an aunt or uncle for a week will give her time away from difficult child and her parents. She is a teen after all. [/QUOTE]
