Scott, I agree with this one. This is what I told you before. You may have to sit back and watch the train wreck. If you have no control or cooperation from and over ANY of the 3 girls, then you wash your hands and that's it. Just let them all know it first.
Me, I drug Rebecca into the house by her hair kicking and screaming. Cut the cords to all her stuff and made her read books for 6 weeks. I think I showed you when you were here. She was writing hand written letters to family members after 6 weeks. No e-mail.
She was great during that time. She messed up at school again. Left school grounds to walk home early. She is now grounded till April. It's a work in progress. She's miserable. But I won't back down. All her freinds are gone. We took them away. Phone is gone too.
Difference is Bonnie is behind me. Yes we disagree but NEVER in front of the kids. And we make a decision and that's it.
Without Kathy behind you, it won't work. Sit back and watch the grease fire.
