Alas, we now have security cameras
Had enough of the he-said-she-said. Had enough of making calls to useless crisis lines when SD made us watch her hit her head against the living room wall, terrorizing everyone, screaming about how she's going to pull her bones and blood out of her body (over SO asking to stop hogging the bathroom) insisting they can't do anything if there isn't a "plan." IDK, gee, I have a voice memo recording of SD accusing everyone in the house of stealing her headphones (she just lost them, lo and behold) and then threatening everyone that she's going to kill whoever took them, kill someone, kill herself. I told the crisis center that's literally a plan. I told my SO nobody does anything unless someone's seriously maimed or injured, but that's the world we live in nowadays.
We got an outdoor cam in the backyard to see if anyone is sneaking out or sneaking people in. Both have a history of doing so. Also one in the living room and down their hallway (rooms are adjacent to each other). If something is stolen or other wrongdoings occur, well we can just go ahead and simply corroborate that calmly without being made a fool of now can't we? Hasn't changed their behavior much already on Day 1.
Anyways..... that's my neck of the woods!! I feel better. Wish we did this a long time ago. Better late than never.

Jesus, your SD is a real
Jesus, your SD is a real piece of work. Cameras are good but i hope one day soon you won't need them.
With audio recording capability I hope.
Show it, and hear it. Then you can have her hog tied and hauled off in the padded van when she threatens her own life or anyone else's.
Don't let her back in the home until they have her medicated into a slobbering compliant zombie. Her choices do not trump her own safety or the safety of others.
Omg. Your way with words.

Pull her bones and blood out
Pull her bones and blood out of her body? Is this girl seeing a psychiatrist?! Sounds like she needs some meds!
Or an exorcist
Or an exorcist
No kidding!!! *bomb*
No kidding!!! *bomb*
I was just going to suggest
Crackpot evil drama queen. She needs a one way ticket to Mogadishu.
This kid needs mental health treatment.
You should be trying to find someone to help her. Once they know she is crazy. They just will not care about pulling bones out .
Oh her and SS are both in
Oh her and SS are both in therapy. Their last therapist DROPPED them as clients a few months ago! HMM.. wonder why..
Both are on anti-psychotics, sleep meds, I can't even keep up or name them any longer because they're constantly being updated or altered since nothing works on these jerks. I let SO handle the healthcare stuff, I just can't listen or deal with it. Meds don't change personalities, shockingly! I always tell my SO that meds are meant to help improve overall quality of life and make "weaknesses" or difficulties easier (oh which they don't....it's such a chore to clean up after themselves...) --- but meds don't create whole new personalities for people. If they did, the state of the world would look a LOT different!!
Rags -- yes, lovely Ring cameras that have audio capabilities. SS was wondering if they recorded audio, I just play dumb and say that I don't know. SO told them if they aren't doing anything that they wouldn't be ashamed to have someone else see, shouldn't really matter to them. All downloadable, all in full proof! *dance4*
Mental health field can be challenging
You have to find better therapist. Or big mental hospital . All kids don't want to talk at first. All kids play the system after a time. Knowing what the Dr. want to hear. You actually have little time to help them . At 18 there are on there own. I remember breaking my butt getting my SD into a program. And she just walk out. '''She has rights''. ''Can't keep her against her will'''
It not going to end well. Be prepared. Start saving money for lawers.
Ooof...idk
Having security cameras for their intended, "normal", purpose is one thing.
The day I ever thought I needed cameras to prevent someone living in MY house from damaging lies that could ruin my reputation, make it difficult to find gainful employment or go to jail....? That would be the day some changes were made - and it wouldn't be cameras (or maybe temp until eviction). The amount of stress living like that causes illness and early death.
Sometimes "love" isn't enough - and that is where I would be at this point. I absolutely would not live like this.
Hey, greyskies,
Hey, greyskies,
When I was a kid, they didn’t take me to a psychologist. My mom was able to open my chakra, stabilize my karma and clean my aura with one, single backhand!
Seriously, though, I noted by reading your previous posts, that your partner has 100% custody of her difficult children. Why is the biological father not involved in their upbringing? Does the man suffer from either ADHD or autism?
You’ve taken on one helluva burden, partnering up with a woman who comes with such considerable baggage. She must be a very special person!
Too true grannyd. Lol!
When I was a kid, they didn’t take me to a psychologist. My mom was able to open my chakra, stabilize my karma and clean my aura with one, single backhand!
Though the backhand was never deployed by my parents. The belt to the rump method set up the effectiveness of the look and the lecture. If it got to the belt level, the butt cheeks were cherry red and stingingly tender. Worse than the belt to the bare butt was the soul searing lecture and the look of pending near death and parental disappointment.
Funny how the direct realignment between the chakra and karma and physical cleaning of the aura is so effective. This method also resolves the short circuit between the brain and the body for younger kids and the brain and the gonads for hormonal teens who have outgrown their britches.
I recall the last belt to the butt session I received. Dad was out of town. My younger brother and I were supposed to be home at sun set/when the street lights came on. I was flirting with a couple of year older teen girl neighbor a few blocks from home. My brother was with me. We got home a couple of hours late and mom was livid. She had cooked dinner and we were not home as directed. Decades before cell phones or pagers btw. We got home, mom lost her mind on us. We both were told to drop trou and assume the position on the bottom bunk (my brother and I shared a room) and mom started the swats. I lost it laughing my ass off. My brother was wrinkly chined and starting the pre cry sniffles. He was 8, I was 14. He looked over at me like I had lost my damned edmind. Then he busted out laughing as well. Mom tried to take control of the situation and growl at us then she lost it and started laughing as well. She was crying through her laughter. Dad had been gone for a few weeks on a remote field trip and we were all missing him. My brother and I hugged it out with mom and apologized. I got the wrap it before you tap it/no glove no love talk mom style because we were late due to my young teen crush on a neighborhood girl. And that was Rags's last spanking. We relive that story occasionally, mom and I laugh our butts off and my 54yo younger brother just smirks, shakes his head and reminds mom and me that we have lost our damned minds. By dead reckoning we are a few months from the 47th anniversary of my last belt to the bare ass session.
Fun times!
Keeping Ring in Business
Ah yes, Camera's all over the house. We too live that life, purchasing Ring camera's to cover every angle of the house after Demon15 lost her mind, made suicidal statements (that actually had been going on for over a year by then) and other extremely concerning statements and earned her nickname Demon. Sorry it has come to that for you as well. This was about a year ago for us? Not quite? And actually, we got her back on meds and she has become *almost* a normal teen, (if a normal teen acts like a toddler half the time).
These skids are keeping Ring in business with their ridiculous antics. Exhausting.
