[QUOTE="witzend, post: 478381, member: 99"] Kathy, we all know that there is no "right" answer to what you should do. There are some answers that seem "wrong". But in truth there is only what we're able to do in the face of the extreme moment our difficult child's put us into. I don't know what your daughter wants, and she probably doesn't either. She's probably just unhappy and seems to want her mom to fix it for her. That's why she keeps texting and contacting you. I think if it were me, I would hope that if I had gotten a text from one of the difficult child's saying that they were in the driveway and going to kill themselves, I would have had the police come to the house and given the restraining order I would have told them to call me when they were done because I was getting a cup of coffee until she was gone. I'd let them find her and deal with her. As far as the restraining order goes, if you don't have them enforce it, she'll know that, and she will keep going after your emotions. Should she violate it again, I'm of the opinion that you have to have her taken away. Then again, I'm not living the turmoil, so this is easier for me to say than it would be for you to do. But that's the beauty of hindsight. It really is 20/20. {{{{{{{{{{{Big hugs}}}}}}}}}}} [/QUOTE]
