[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 376328"] Oh, how I feel for you!! My difficult child is a month away from 17 and is the exact same way. Nothing is ever her fault. Nothing is ever a consequence of her actions, her choices, her behaviors. We have had trouble with her since she was very little as well. Couldn't even take her to the beach with out an army to chase her down every time she took off. She even set a fire in the classrooom bathroom when she was in elementary school!! Would steal Ninetendo DS's, PSP's, what ever she could get her hands on. And always lied about it - bold faced lie to your face. It has only gotten worse with age. She abuses drugs. She lies constantly. She is on probation and has had so many "sanctions" already (probation is nothing but a JOKE in my opinion). I honestly don't know if there is a way to get them to "get it". I had to arrange for mine to have another home because I was sick and tired of being told to F off, that I am an "f"ing b, we are pieces of **** that never do anything for her, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile she is using my home to do as she pleases while we are not there - possible drug sales, etc. She was breaking into my bedroom, having who knows who over doing who knows what when ever we were at work. And I recently found out she was trying to get our younger son to try drugs. Never, ever, ever will she live in my home again. I don't know what the answer is. I obviously haven't found it and doubt I ever will. But you are definitely NOT alone. I notice there are TONS of lurkers here as well as some great women that post great advice - we are very obviously not alone. But I can honestly say that since difficult child has been out of the house, there is a sense of peace and calm that is not there when she is there. Our son seems happier, more at ease adn coming out of his bedroom a whole lot more now that she is gone. I love her to death and I pray she finds her way. But I also know that she is so determined to not do anything we want her to, that she will go nowhere living with us. [/QUOTE]
