[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 379877, member: 7371"] Hi, Blue Nude, and welcome. Sorry you're going through all of this. The others have given you lots of good insight and advice. I just wanted to add that I have been there done that with homework issues. I finally decided to let the teachers and school administrators be the ones to impose the consequences. My difficult child knew exactly where I stood on the issue (I made it more than clear -- lol!), and going through the daily battles just wasn't worth it. It didn't accomplish anything, and it created a lot more tension, which we didn't need. I would encourage you to focus on some of your daughter's other, more urgent issues. It sounds as if she's still willing to communicate with you on some level (telling you about the cutting, having you wash her hair) and that can end up being really helpful. I also would encourage you to take care of yourself and your marriage. difficult child issues can really drive a wedge between parents, as many here can tell you. But doing it alone is really, really hard. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
