Does anyone have a child like this?
My chils is not so much as a child any more. She will be 18 next Oct. She is a hand full. her Dad and I last year moved her down to KS. To live with her Dads mom. We did that to give her a new start. See she has gotin into a lot of trouble in Wi. with the law, kicked out of School, friends, and the with drugs. It all started about 2 years ago about two weeks befor her brithday we got a call that we had to go to the UWH because she had overdosed. We did ever thang the Dr. told us to do to get help for her. We sent her to rehab 2 time and thay let her pass with durty UA's. She has been to all Dr.'s. Thay say that there is nothing wrong with her brain. Now she is in truble in KS. I know I need to and I did tell her that WE her dad and I cant help her anymore but we will be here for her. Thats all I can do. she will have to help herself frist befor anyone can help her. I will never give up on her but it is just so hard to sit and wait.....And now I have asked 2 states for help and no one will help. what m i to do.

hi amy,im so sorry about tihe trouble your having.unfortunately my teen hasnt gone thru that,but i do remember as a child.my parents took in my cousin that was like your daughter.she had drug probs and in trouble with the law.my aunt couldnt handle her anymore.my parents did tough love with her.the called the police many times on her.took away all luxuries,pretty much let her punish herself.then oneday she woke up.she got a job to pay off fines and my parents.then she got her ged.however,she didnt go to college.but shes been married a few times since then.she to this day is still on the wild side but way way more responsible about it.so your daughter may just have that kind of personality,but she needs to learn to be responsible.i would stop looking for help for her.let her fall on her face a few times.maybe then shell relize mom cant bail her out all the time.its time for your daughter to grow up.i know you love her and your going to worrie.but by you not fixing it for her,it makes her mature more and more.and plus teens are very difficult.there hormonal.they are going thru stages,phases,trying to find themselves.all kinds of things.and now a days peer pressure is harder then ever.i hope i make sense.good luck.let us know what happened
