[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 752153, member: 4152"] Welcome. I too have an adopted child and it is what brought me here. She is an adult now. It’s been rough. I like the idea of art or Equine therapy. I posted at the other thread. I mentioned: 1. Get her a therapist weekly. 2. Exploring her skills. Art? Drama? Sports? It might keep her away from trouble. 3. Temporarily taking away a privilege for stealing money from you. But warn her if she steals from you again, you will call the police and then do so (if she steals again). 4. Return phone to rightful owner. 5. Set clear boundaries in household. 6. You get therapy for yourself to help with this stress. 7. Check out a book called “Yes your teen is crazy.” It has good ideas. i suspect you have more to deal with than typical teen antics. BUT, still some good/ helpful input. Keep posting. [/QUOTE]
