Single Parenting

Quote From: jlmay2

I have a 14 yr old who has major problems, and before anyone says anything, I know its because of her father and me. We were married for 8 yrs and it was pretty much all abusive, not all but most of it was. I also have a 16 yr old who is from the same father. But she just holds it all in till her and I blow up and then we make up. I know that none of this is good. I came from a very abusive family who thought degrading me was fun.  Iv had a lot of counsling for what I went through, I am doing alot better. I just dont know how to help my girls, my youngest calls me every name in the book.  I  am  B, W, she tells me to "F" off on a daily basis, I dont even ask her to help to house work anymore its just easier to do it myself.  She wont talk to a counsler, she steals smokes from me and anyone who walks in my trailer.  I dont know what to do, I want to send her to boot camp or a milliarty camp, that would straighnt her out for sure.  if anyones got any advice please let me know.  shes going to be afreshmen in high school this fall. I know she will get her butt kicked and Iv told her I wont  pitty her when it happens.    my email is jodislittlefirends@hotmail.com
I find it shocking that you can tell your child that you wont pitty her if she gets her butt kicked.  Sounds like she has learned her behavior from you. You find it appropriate when you display the behavior but not ok for her?  I think you need to focus on you before you preach to her.  Family counseling, individual counseling.  I would love to see you on the Dr.Phil show so that he can set you straight.
