[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 538987, member: 14865"] Thanks for weighing in, Upallnight. Your advice is the logical advice that one would normally think of. However, I forgot to mention one sobering detail. difficult child tried to commit suicide about 2 years ago after her "good" boyfriend of 1 1/2 years broke up with her. It was her cry for help. That night, I found the noose in her closet with a chair under it. That is when her psychiatric visits began. Her psychiatrist is an adolescent psychiatric, one of the best. She also locked herself in the bathroom with a knife at Mr. Wonderful's a few months ago when she saw an old txt from an ex-girlfriend on Mr. Wonderful's phone (he used to have one) which resulted in door broken down, wrestling for the knife, and a stab to her (accidental or on purpose, we will never know) requiring surgery. After she left last month, I was all set to "take away everything" and make her go cold turkey, but he told us to instead, in her case, take things away gradually. He knows her well and is trying to give us advice that will keep her from living on the streets or panicking and committing suicide-he has seen plenty of difficult children and has good rapport with ours, so for now, we are heeding his advice.
