[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 634069, member: 6705"] I started to read the responses then stopped so I can come at this fairly fresh. I do think we have to hit a certain point. husband hit his with Belle when , two days after major surgery, she went ballistic on him and ran off. He finally flat refused to bring her home. She was 16. But... Time went by and he softened (his little girl). So she came home and went back to her antics... Only she knew how to hide them a little better, and when she was supposed to be at work, was off drinking and drugging. I'd put up with her nastiness for a long time, though she had calmed some when Rose was around. But then... One morning... I was off work, and I went upstairs to take her to school, after she'd blown her curfew the night before, and she started screaming at me. We got in the car and I attempted to carry on a reasonable discussion with her, but when my attention was distracted enough by her screaming (and as you know I have good reason to be afraid when she goes off the deep end), I pulled over to the side of the FREEWAY. She got out, called me some names... I went home the long way, calling husband on the way and told him I was DONE. Things have been more peaceful since. Not perfect. But I think her behavior awoke the mama bear. [/QUOTE]
