wise .. woow .. man i hope this helps.

My mom and dad got divorced and things when i was 5 my dad did ALOT of bad things to me, as well as her. So anytype of parental control to me was going to take a hike. I felt if i had to feed and take care of myself when i was 8 why should i have to listen to my mom when i was 16+.

Now anways the point im trying to make is while her and my situation are different we were the same kid. We did what we wanted and no one could stop us and when they tried we didnt care. My mom was forced to put me in rehab home (not for drugs and things, although i did smoke and stuff),

The rehab home is like a jail where i learned to respect and manners and lots of other stuff. I cried everyday all day long I wanted out. I said they were mean to me i did all i could to "trick" people into getting me out, i played sick you name it.

I didnt care who i hurt it was all ABOUT ME. Sadly as time came about i got with the program and overtime i had wakeup calls and things. While i still hated it and even when i got out i tried to hold it against my mom.

I learned something ... LIFE. It helped me as i got older like with work, BEING A PARENT MYSELF, and many other things. I know it hurts when they are like this but you have to be stronger then her and you have to let her know whos in charge.

Think of how the real world is its hard enough as it is, imagine a 17yr old going about it alone like she is .. while she isnt going to understand you do .. i know its horried. I now am glad i got my "butt beat" and learned to respect and what not and today i even tell my mom it was the best thing that happened to me. It took alot of time but just cause she hates you now and will even more so for being a parent she will see different in time. Rememeber your the smart one here and whatever it takes to control her needs to be done .. i know it hurts you and she will cry and do all she can to get out .. but remember its for her best .. if it hadnt been for mine i prob wouldnt be here today.

Good luck ..
