i have been in and out of counseling with sarah and i took her to planned parenthood when she was 13. they put her on birth control and gave her an array of condoms . and she goes off and on for check-ups. i told her i was against her having sex but if she was .she needed to ALWAYS use condems. we were contacted recently from the health department that sarah needed to call them immediatly. we had no way to get ahold of her because when she calls she blocks the number. well on one of her calls, she informed quinn that she has a pelvic desease and also gonnorhea. and she didnt know who she got it from because she didnt use the condems with anyone ! she called around 10.00 last night and quinn spent over an hour talking to her.and he told her about james wrecking his car and the young girl that was with him had died and how that could of been her. her comment was "oh well" and i was listening on the other line as she wont talk to me at all. as she thinks its all my fault that her mom abandoned her. i finally got tired of hearing her trying to set rules on our household, and told her .SAME RULES APPLY SARAH ! AND IF YOU CANT ABIDE BY THEM, HAVE A GOOD LIFE !. i felt bad afterward, but she will NOT live in my home and do what she's been doing. tough love is a hard act to follow, but in this case i have to stick to my guns. i love her and i sound cold toward her but enough is enough and i am done playing the game. .......game over !
Dusty..what a position to be in..whewwww..I know it must be horable..but yes you must stick to your guns..Your rules are not that hard to follow...and she is just rebelling again any authority you have..And I bet she really in essence doent blame you for her mother leaving..she just has to have some one to blame...and right now it is you...Dont take it personally...as they say...we always hurt the ones we love..So..she must love you then...I can only hope and pray that she gets her self checked out and stays current with the BC pills any way...I know I didnt get rebelious till later then most..like 17...and i came to my sences like 20 and then REALLY changed for the better at like 22. So...I hope it is quicker for her to come around since she started earlyier...She should rejoyce and feel blessed to have such a loving carefree home and lots of relatives to love her..but right now she probalby doesnt feel like she can trust any one and will go against any thing you say even if she deep down really does side with you...it is complicated...But I used to aggue if some one said it was day...it must be night...So..I hope that your family unit is strong and will hold together throught all of this..I will send warm thoughts your way...Take care of you Dusty...start there...
Dusty- that is a sad situation to be in. She is taking it out on you...the one that probably cares about her the most. Why is it (Ansy can probably tell us-lol) that we take things out on the ones we love the most??? I have seen this time and time again. I have also done it myself!
thanks guys ! and jaw you are right and i have done it myself also. i am thinking maybe its because we know the people that love us will tolerate it more. i just keep worrying where shes at and pray she is safe. i thought about the young girl that died this morning in that car accident.it could have been sarah .she was running all around with him. my heart goes out to her family. we will always worry about our kids even long after they are grown and gone.but we can only do so much and i hope sarah realizes what she is doing to herself before its too late.
