Hi. I am new to mums net and in need of any advice. We adopted our Daughter at the age of 4 years. She is now 15.7 yrs. firstly I must says before all the negative stuff that when she is calm she is lovely, loveable, funny, pretty, kind and thoughtful.
Unfortunately most of the time she is grumpy, accusing, feeling the world is against her etc. I know these are normal teenage issues but she's been like it since the beginning of living with us. I fully understand her psychological needs for the baggage she carries. We have been to psychologist twice and diagnosed with attachment disorder.
She has been refusing to go to school but on the whole school have been supportive and we're getting her there. But when she refuses to go to school we remove her mobile phone and tablet. When my husband is not around I end up covered in bruises. I could go on for a very long time about her negative behaviour but my real question is what are her tights and ours if we ask her to leave our home at 16. I dont want to see her in the gutter and would like to find out ad much as i can before we make this heart wrenching decision. I asked the adoption support social worker but was signposted to the MAT team at school. Still to do so. We do love her but can't walk on egg shells any longer
