[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 336321, member: 393"] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Century Gothic]There's no doubt that manipulation comes into play; that with no impulse control, dissociative states & the like. However, I'm not the mom I once was ~ I refuse to walk on pins & needles because kt has entered the building. I let her know my line in the sand; because it is in sand it can change. As to allowing her to walk - it's been a trust building adventure. Yes, she ran 7 weeks ago & she'll likely run again. In fact, I don't give this 6 months before she's placed elsewhere again. Therefore, I will not emotionally invest myself as I once have. I will not get into the nonstop haranguing concerning exercise & the like. I will not get into an "it's not fair" argument. I'm no longer conditioned to parenting a difficult child. What this comes down to ladies, is doing what I must do as a parent while maintaining my health. I'm never again, going to get to such a point of stress that it affects my day to day health. I've already been reported to the county as a vulnerable adult. kt walks - doesn't get home on time, she knows the consequence. Personally, I don't care if kt smokes - I just don't want her to contract a life threatening disease via payment for those cigarettes when I can get her a pack a week instead ~ she's been in school & taught from day one about smoking & the risks. I no longer worry about who she's talking to or even if she's meeting up with someone. I expect her home by curfew. I expect her to comply by the house rules & I expect & deserve respect. All the other stuff is just stuff. kt will survive it or she won't AND I love her beyond belief. I'm to put me first, period. AND I just want "peace in the land". [/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
