Everything came to a head last week. I had my suspicions about what was going on but didn't know how to tackle them with her. In the end I just decided to be honest and tell her what I thought. She was furious and disappeared off for hours (at night). I knew if I got too heavy handed it would all backfire on me so I played it cool and she came home. She said she doesn't want to talk about it. That's very frustrating but fine for now. She is almost like a changed child this week and much more like the D13 I had come to know and love (she has always been more affectionate than my other children). She did tell me she is ashamed of some of her actions and this is probably punishment enough.
My old H would have been mortified that I even had to have this convo with my D13. My current H would take me to court saying I was a bad mother and that he wanted custody!
