Thread: *Update* On my Juvenal Delinquent

First I want to apologize for not responding sooner and to say ~Thank you~ to everyone for their support, comments, suggestions, etc. I truly appreciate it. My plate has been so full I’ve had no time for anything…ha ha!
Anyways…. my 13 as you know ran away, the cops found her on the next block over in some boys house and barricaded herself in the bathroom and she had been drinking…to make a long story short she ended up in Juvenal Hall overnight.
Since then she’s been grounded…and super strict supervision. I called the counselors back and told them they had better put her way ahead on that waiting list and wouldn’t you know it, all of a sudden they had room for her and she was seen yesterday. The youth leaders at her church are also going to counsel her. After we came home she stole a smoke from me..they were only 5 feet away! I had my head turned for only a minute! She suck outside to smoke it and my oldest was right on her trail and caught her..she finally admitted it and went straight back to her room. She has kind of been obnoxious but I think it may be starting to sink in her brain she’s not getting by with any more crap
I’ve done everything in my power to raise my daughter right. When she was 3 I got away from her drug addicted, abusive father and cleaned up myself. (She’s the only one out of the 4 girls that can’t remember how bad it used to be!)She’s always had plenty of love, quality time, always have made sure she is safe and secure. I knew she was high strung along with the others so I always made sure they had plenty to do…dance, cheerleading, sports, band, girl scouts, cadets, church. Whatever…she’s always the one that has wanted to quit. She wants for very little! She wears named brand clothes and our back yard is like the neighborhood amusement park! She really is a spoiled brat. I don’t want her on meds. I won’t take the door off her bedroom for the fact she shares a room with her 15 year old sister and that wouldn’t be fair to her but their windows can not be opened no more than 4 inches.
Again thanks again for everything…~HUGS~
