 I don't understand why things happen the way they do or why it has got to be me that deals with it!What do you do if your child doesnt listen to you and dares you to do anything about it.This is not the little girl I've been raising, she has done a complete 360 turn around,(as a stranger) and I don't know what to do with her,I love her and it hurts me so bad when she acts out towards me.What do I do? I causes me more anxiety than I already have.I feel as if she has ripped my heart out and jumped up and down on it. any suggestions for me? how2deal

sorry for your pain, don't know the age of your child but you have to take a stand and stick to it. even if you have to have to sic the system on her. it will be hard on both of you, but when a minor gets out of control you have two choices, give up or fight for their future. I chose wrong and will regret it for the rest of my life. |

Hello! I just joined and read your vent. I know how you feel, not that that's much help. i have been through similar, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I joined a group called Tough Love. This was an enormous help, they train you in how to deal with situations , long term. We need to understand that we will probably never understand our teenagers, all we can do is guide them, love them and try to keep the safe. I hope you are still hangin in there. Whatever you do don't let her see you crumble. Although they push and push, they still like to know they have boundaries. Put your foot down, make a stand & set yourself some boundaries. Things you will not tolerate., focus on the good things she does & praise her for them & set some house rules and consequences if they are broken. Make sure she understands them and write them up like a contract and ask her to sign it. That way you can remind her that she agreed to them. And make sure you set some time aside for YOU, don't forget yourself OK. I hope things will improve for you soon.
