But I will get out of hand on certain subjects, this being one of them, and I'll really let him have my views on such things, which can be very, very strong, and really, I'm not sure anyone really wants to read EXACTLY what I think right now, on the subject, not going over to find him and smack him over the head, although there have been times when the thought has crossed my mind and I have wished he were a friend of mine so I could take his sister out for a day or two and show her what happens, in the long run, when you do things I did and continue to do things that she seems to be doing right now and lately. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

'Kate wrote in message ... On Sat, 13 Mar 2004 04:04:18 GMT, "xkatx" . I survived, although maybe not in the 'ideal' way, but in the long run, and still running, I have and continue to survive, although sometimes barely. Kat, I know it's hard for you right now. I remember feeling the same way - I could never sleep late, have a day off, etc... it passes in time. I can sleep late now if I want but after 25 years of motherhood I'm up bright and early every damn morning. :-) I was a 20 year old mom but didn't have much of a childhood. I took care of my siblings during my teen years and went right from that into marriage. Mom was hospitalized a lot and compared with that, married and on my own with someone who loved me seemed so much better. It was, actually... for many years and then it wasn't for a few. I simply completed a pattern that I'd learned. I can see it now but it's been a 20+ year cycle of behavior that started well before I was old enough to make my own decisions. You took on all that responsibility but you're not the only one who created the choices that you made. Life situations create them too. Patterns of behavior, survival decisions, and having to take on too much responsibility with little support are just a few things that lead us to make choices. I know you didn't want to make this about you... so that's all I wanted to say. It wasn't *all* your fault and you got the better end of the deal. So did I. 'Kate Yes, I know. I've had a few friends, mostly from a teen parenting class at a school I went to for high school, and many were in the same area of the field I was. Some are doing just fine, and some aren't, in my eyes. Ran into a girl I had lived with just before and right after B was born, she actually moved in the same day I came home with a new baby, and had a daughter 11 days later, I think it was... Anyways, ran into her at the mall within the last year, and she said child welfare took her baby from her, and she seemed fine about it... I dunno... Something like that would kill me, and it's just not something I could ever imagine. Another girl I went to school with said they took her baby (about 6 months older than B) away from her because she was working as a stripper or something... She always came across, to me, as a stable and fighting mother, and she, really, was the last person I'd have thought I'd hear what I did from... But yea, some things change, for so many reasons, and have just as many outcomes. I definitely do believe I got the better hand and really, I wouldn't change a damn thing I had ever done, because I really do believe that if I had done one thing different, nothing would be as it is right now. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

'Kate wrote in message ... On Fri, 12 Mar 2004 14:36:16 -0500, "P.Fritz" I don't know about calling her normal ;-) but again, I see the root cause of it from an almost total rejection by her biological father. I don't remember the father being mentioned. I thought you were making a comment about my 'step-niece' not the OP, in OP, the I think the root cause is being 'rejected' by BOTH parents. 'Kate |

Yeah, just the internet and the phone. Consistancy, routine, and dependability will have to do then. If her relationship with you is easier than her relationship with the 19 year old, then she'll be more likely to give that up. I've NOT been telling her how bad she is... I figured you weren't overtly telling her that she was but because I have no way of knowing that, I felt strongly about putting it out there and letting you deny it. & like I said, the problem wasn't from the start, it only happened before this guy. I do keep up with her teachers (have had problems contacting them though). I'm glad to hear that you are. It's very important. They can fax you if you can't keep in touch with them via phone. Other activities dont work, tried them, she dropped EVERYTHING (even communication with me) for him. The problem is preventing her to build the alter to make offerings & sacrifices to him next. Or finding ways to open communication up between you again. She doesn't, I'm sure, want to feel like she's doing everything wrong and that she should be beholden to you (even if she is). We all need some pride. He is giving her something that she needs or he wouldn't be able to influence her. She is probably putting out to get what she needs emotionally - to be appreciated and feel loved for who she is and not someone else's ideal of who she should be or what she should be doing. "I love you but" is the worst phrase I've ever heard. I think you're going to have to enlist her help in providing what she needs from you. Outright ask her, aside from carte blanche with her boyfriend, what one thing would improve your relationship with her. Start there and make sure you get something out of it. For example, if you give her X, then you want Y in return. The main problem is taking someone who was doing good before they met him, getting them to realize what they're in, & then reversing her to the way she was before meeting him. I don't think you can stuff her back into the pre-teen box. The 19 year old has influence over her. This has become a fight and she's rooting for the other side. If she sees an effort from you to change the present, then maybe, in time she will meet you more than half-way. This hasn't been just since the boyfriend, BTW. There were problems before that directly relate to what is going on now. All the blame is not the boyfriend's. The solution is not just get rid of the boyfriend. The solution is to fix the problems that resulted in her feeling that a 19 year old boyfriend is appropriate. Yes, definitely. Daniel, you and she had no time to establish a relationship before all this happened. So unfortunately you don't know each other well, don't have a give-and-take, don't have basic rules for around the house. You're reacting to each other and to events. You need to take a breather from the power struggle that's going on and talk/listen to each other. Is there someone local, maybe with the foster care agency, who can serve as a social worker/mediator? You can't parent by surveillance, I understand your need to document this guy's predatory behavior, but as far as working with her, you need to communicate face to face. I wouldn't necessarily label the guy a predator, sounds more like a jerk that can't establish a relationship with someone his own age, or perhaps has the maturity of a 14 y.o. And I also get tired of people lumping them together with pedophiles..............a 14 y.o. girl while emotionally immature is phyically an adult. Hell, a century ago, that was 'marrying' age. I agree he is not a pedophile also and shouldn't be called such. As for a 14 year old being emotionally immature.... I know 20-60 year olds that are emotionally immature. Male and female. This guy is definitely a jerk. But just as a side note (not to downplay what Dan is going through), maybe she is aggressive and seeking him and controlling him. Hell, women are known to do that. I think that main point though is getting this girl help. Period. T Not a pedophile, but a statuatory rapist. The legal age is 18. He needs to abide by that rule. She is too young for him and someone has got to put their foot down or she will be posting to this group, as a single mother. Hi, I am a 15 y/o with a newborn. Come on! THe legal age depends on the state, but I agree with everything else. V |
