OMG -- 1tash1, don't EVER disown a child -- ever!! Can you even IMAGINE how that makes the child feel? They already feel that life is cruel, and that no one cares -- and then to be disowned by their parents?? My God, that's like giving them a death sentence!

1tash1, she's SCREAMING for help. You may not think so because she's being so disrespectful. But that's the only way she knows how to do it. My granddaughter did the same thing!! She was also screaming for help. But we got her OUT of the town she was living in -- away from the kids she was hanging with -- out of the school she was going to -- and today, her grades are all A's & B's, she has apologized for everything she has done (she's still in therapy and has been for a year) she called ME -- I'm her grandma -- and apologized for me for being so disrespectful. She's 17 yrs old. She was JUST like your daughter!

In order to save her, maybe you should MOVE. Wouldn't it be worth it to SAVE A CHILD? I sure think so. A child is a precious gift from God. PLEASE don't cut her out of your life! That would be a horrible thing to do.

She's trying her darnedest to find her place in life, and she doesn't know who she is, or where she belongs. And her family is falling apart right before her eyes. She hasn't had very good role models, you know. I'm sorry I have to say that. She's really screaming for you and for your love. Don't give up on her. Hugs, Lee
