Oh my goodness......what happened?????? I don't hold much faith in the judicial system changing anyone's attitudes....seems like it only makes people more angry much of the time........I really hope that you can find help that will really get to the bottom of what's bothering her.

I know that kids can sense when things aren't good in a marriage whether we try to make it look good or not....& there are things that can bother them & they just aren't willing to open up until someone they can really relate to touches their life.

Sounds like she just won't open up to anyone right now about what's bothering her & is acting out in harmful ways......sadly, usually until the real issue is resolved, things won't change much.......hmmmmmm maybe she is the one that needs to be here on PC so that she can find a way to express herself in a non-harmful way.

Sometimes kids feel like they aren't getting attention, then they start acting in negative ways if they can't seem to figure out positive ways to get attention......then the behavior starts to become a habit even when things around them change.......but in reality, your marriage doesn't sound like it has really changed much.....even though you are doing well with your drinking problem from the past.....but don't forget, kids can feel the negative vibes from a bad marriage even when we think we are hiding it well.

Hope she finds someone who she can open up to about what's bothering her so that she will be able to stop her self-destructive behavior......& maybe find what might possibly be psychologically going wrong with her. It's sad to see mental illness issues end up in the judicial system which all too often is what happens.

Wishing you the best with this & thanks for keeping us posted on how things are going.....have been thinking a lot about you lately before you posted & was wondering how things were going......like Leed said, PC is very much like a caring family.....only much better in many ways
