[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 737588, member: 13303"] Welcome, Knife, and I am so sorry you need to be here. A family law attorney may be able to explain your options so that you can begin deciding how to best proceed. You are right, YOU MATTER, and you and yours deserve a home life without the constant threat of violence. One of my two stepsons is violent, so I understand what you are going through. Is her father in the picture? Is there another relative with whom she might be able to stay for a time, just so the two of you can get some distance from one another? At 16 she should have an IEP for an emotional disturbance with the level of behavior you describe - lack of attendance is truancy and therefore a school issue. It may be worth it to argue the point with the school district. My bipolar 16 year old stepson - a different child from the one I mentioned above - qualified for an IEP after he tried to kill himself and was hospitalized for three months recovering. He was immediately placed in a therapeutic day school for children with emotional problems. He is still struggling in many ways but he is doing much better. Their support has been a game changer for him. Keep us posted, we care and we're here! [/QUOTE]
