All I can say is...GRRRRR!! My SD annoys the shit out of me!!! She is in trouble at school, again, for hitting a kid because he wouldn't leave her alone. Really? Hitting him was absolutely necessary? WTH! She has detention for it tomorrow after school. I am just finding all of this out, but apparently DH knew about it the day it happened, over a week ago. He is really acting like it is no big deal, but this is not the first time she has physically acted out at someone. I am so sick of DH enabling her to act the way she does.

I just need to put this out there...for all the complaining and venting that I do, I need to remind myself that I am blessed. Yes, my SD has a huge amount of problems besides being a 14 year old girl dealing with hormones and high school drama, but she also does great things for me and her brother and sister. I need to learn to give her credit where credit is due. I don't think I do it enough. Just wanted to put that out there because I have seen some posts on here that made my skin crawl and I just wanted to reach out to the poster and hug them and make everything better.

I went to a counseling session with SD14 today. She was very upset at first because I told her I was going to talk with the therapist about what has been going on in the past week with her getting back with Mr. Dangerous and lying to us about it. She decided to sit out in the waiting room while the therapist and I talked. I guess she didn't want to hear it get rehashed all over again...I don't blame her for that.

I gave her plenty of chances to tell her father about what has been going on and she never did it. I couldn't take it anymore and told him myself. He was completely on board with me and totally agreed with me. He confronted her about it at dinner. He told her that she had better not ever say a word about me hating her again and that she should be thankful to me for trying to help her and for caring about her enough to make sure that she stays safe.
