Thanks for the peace. I am not feeling it right this minute but maybe in time. We are looking for a group home or a foster home with very rigid regimine to put her in for a while. The problem is she is almost 18 and the state does not want to do anything to help. No bucks no facilities. if she harms us or herself I can have her hospitalized. I am so angry. I don't know how much to get into here but I called her T and a woman from an adoption agency that is state funded. Left message for the adoption agency person and spoke with the T. We all seem to be in agreement that she is wanting us to throw her out so she can prove she doesn't belong. It's getting close. I am even considering asking a brother with whom I am mostly estranged to take her for the summer. He is strict and would make her work and not call the boy in question. I just don't know. My anger is making me blind. I want to shake her.

She got into this thing about how her car is hers and she could take it etc. Well, I explained that it was titled and registered in hubby's name and insured by us. She was so out of control and could not be reasoned with. So, today we took the plates, registration and insurance card and will cancel that car on our insurance. She will have to pay to get a new title, registration and insurance. A little reality check huh? Except for the fact that hubby said he would bring her to work today and pick her up which defeats the purpose. I have at least $500 still in that car for repairs etc. I don't care, I want her to see what real life is if she is so ready to go out on her own.

I am hurt. I spent the last 14 years of my life raising this little brat. I want peace. My kids have so many issues. It's overwhelming. Anyway, thanks for the warm wishes Jan, amdx jmo and parker. Hey, you guys want a teen for the summer? Know where you can get one real cheap!
