Hi all dd is 13 and steals anything she can get her hands on it is causing me serious problems all i do is cry and shout (which doesnt do any good i know but i am at my wits end)
I split with her dad 16 months ago and she took it badly (i now have a new partner and things havent been great between us but we are giving it another go)then her dads gf died after an illness. she wants to see more of him but he is now living the single mans life and just doesnt care.I have tried to ask for his help and get told you wanted this deal with it(he hasnt even been in touch to see what happened in court)and yet dd thinks he walks on water and constantly tells me she hates it here and wants to live with him he agrees and then gives her a load of excuses as to why she cant.
We were in court on monday as she failed to show up for her police caution(i got her charged when she stole £50 off me), she is back at the police station on monday to recieve her caution(after her solicitor and support worker from school pleaded her case).
I am now waiting for the forensic team to get back to me after some xmas savings went missing, she lies constantly and steals anything that is not locked away from food to my make up (have just found a load of my stuff in her bag after noticing she had make up on she said"it is my friends" another lie.
I hate living like this so far i have a safe (electronic) i have a yale lock on my bedroom door my older daughter has a lock on her door, my dad used to live with us and there is a lock on that door(again a yale one)I know she is unhappy and with help from her support worker we are trying to help her but i cant go on like this she wont talk to me then screams at me for not asking how her day has been she shows me no respect nor shows any feeling towards her siblings, has anyone got any tactics i could use she has just started getting her pocket money again on the condition she keeps her room tidy i am seriously at a loss as to what else i can do
