I think this is the forum to come to for the support I am seeking. For years my 17 year old daughter and I have not got along. This last year has been the most difficult. The last 6 months have been the worst. I finally had enough of her lying, stealing and outright defience and I kicked her out of the home. My diabetes would get worse...my sugars would shoot up so high from the stress and I would have to go to bed and sleep it off. She had had brushes with the law and with pregnancy as well. She has been staying at a shelter in the next town and a few days ago got kicked out...permanently. There are no other places for her to go. I swore a while age that I would not let her come home again. Today as soon as we got here she shared with me about the shelter kicking her out and that she has been charged with assault against one of the other girls there. She says that she did not do it. She said she was there and she did come and try to get help for the girl as there were two other girls bothering her. She claims that because she was there, she has been charged! I have always stressed to my kids that it is so important not to have a criminal record!! That is not all of it.....She has NOWHERE to go! At first I refused to let her come back but decided to let her come home with of course alot of expectations of her. We have been thru this type of thing before, trying to make it work and she always messes up. PLEASE PRAY FOR US! Pray for whatever you think we need or just for God to be with us. I believe in the power of prayer but I have prayed in similar circumstances before and the changes haven't happened. I hope that by reaching out to all of you that God will provide us with whatever we may need to succeed this time. I love her so very much....and I do want her to be with me...so please PRAY FOR US!!!
