(23,272 posts)HuckleB, I have an off-the-rails 15 year old and am going through a terrible year with her. I simply can't find it in my heart to trash this guy. I've told the story of what's going on in our lives on a couple of these threads already and I'm not going to repeat it here but suffice it to say that I've trashed a couple of my daughter's "things". I've felt that deep frustration and horrified anger at her. I'm not into shooting or guns or any of that stuff but I've definitely done some destroying.... "Talking" things out wasn't even possible. Probably still isn't possible (yet) in our family. Perhaps some day that will happen but I just don't know.
I never in my life thought I'd be in this place with my beautiful, talented, intelligent daughter (since I hadn't ever been there with her older sister).
But here we are.
I know, I get it, the guy invited us into the situation via Facebook. That's fine. I still just simply can't summon the panic button about him and his actions.
