[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 415580, member: 3419"] Jena, not sure this was meant to be me, but it could be:[I] I know another mom here had a daughter stay with a friend for while when things got rough with her difficult child, too.[/I] My easy child was the one affected, and she bottled it in and of course didn't say anything until we were in therapy one day. Long story short, in addition to being shorted on social events, not being able to have friends over because difficult child was so invasive and unpredictable, and losing out on her mom and dad time, easy child had her privacy seriously infringed upon and she freaked out and didn't feel safe at home. The therapist suggested that she stay with-a friend for a while. We knew the people through school and easy child couldn't have picked a better place. It was humiliating and I will never be able to repay them. I bought grocery gift cards, sent flowers, did what I could but how do you repay something like that? I have no idea who knows and who doesn't. At this point, I don't really care any more. I just wanted easy child to have a halfway normal life. (And it gave her a LOT more freedom than we did. All she had to do was tell the mom whether she'd be there for dinner ea night, and clean and vacuum her rm once a wk.) Anyway, on the one hand I agree that if it helps your daughter, go for it. Find out who the people are and contact them, discretely. Ask around. You will figure it out eventually. on the other hand, maybe they're not the type of people who will do her any good. In that case ... Plus, she's still combative and is stealing things from you, so that puts an entirely different spin on it. Fingers crossed! [/QUOTE]
