But now she has messed up again. So, short history, DD2 hit fourteen and developed a depression, OCD, general anxiety and developed a pretty major eating disorder, self harming habit and massive anger problem as a coping mechanism. She lied at the first opportunity then got real real mad if you didn't trust her (seriously, saying "the sky is clearly blue, look out the wondow" would result in a tantrum of epic proportions if she had decided to call it green), she skipped school, had two suicide attempts and was hospitalised three times in two years for self harming gone too far. She stole, she hit she screamed.
We hit breaking point at age 16, and packed her off to her dad's, where she settled down a little, but mostly continued with the same behviours a lot of the time.
After nine months, she came back to us. She managed to pass her exams well, and we got her onto some birth control that toned everything down. She took some time out from school, and recently has been great: She started a hair dressing course, does as she is asked, takes her own time out if she is getting mad, and has just come so far. She is getting herself up and out of the house by seven fifteen every day, helping around the house and even started donating to a charity!
Then today I find out that while baby sitting for a friend of mine recently, she stole three (cheap and costumey but sentimentally important) pieces of jewellery. I confronted her, she intitally lied, but called back and owned up within half an hour (she was out and this was by phone). so what do I do? Is this a glitch, or a final straw? I am so confused.
