[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 185705, member: 3626"] Hi and welcome. You're right, it shouldn't be like this and I'm sorry you're going through this. HUGS!! As Suz said, the fact that you realize her acting out is what she needs to get help is a really good thing. It is hard to hear your child doing the stuff and part of you wishes everyone else was right and it was just in your mind rather than your child needing this type of assistance. It just stinks! (I'd say something stronger but it would just get bleeped.) I'm glad you found us. You'll find tremendous support and advice here. Take what you need and leave the rest. What is right for one of us may not be what is right for you. For now, you've taken the first steps to get her the help she needs. It's hard on you but it will ultimately give her some tools and assistance that can make a huge difference for her adulthood. When I adopted my daughter, I had dreams of high school proms, graduation, college, marriage, grandkids. Many of those dreams went up in smoke. One prom, no graduation, no college. Fortunately, no grandkids yet. I still have dreams for my daughter. She's still young and can still accomplish so much. It may take her longer than other kids but that's okay. She's working, in her first apartment, having some fun. She's talking about getting a GED, finding a better job, moving to a new place when this lease is up with no roomie. So, while the dreams may change, you will be able to rejoice in the successes when they occur. Sometimes I think we rejoice even more because our children have to work harder to accomplish these dreams. [/QUOTE]
