Hi Cuz,
I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I really do feel for you, especially because it sounds like her teen years will be a real struggle. In regards to alarm. We did have some trouble with our oldest sneaking out of the house and we did 2 things that seemed to work. 1. we purchase wireless door alarms. They had a contact that you put over the door and plugged the chime in in another room. When the door was opened, the chime went off. It seemed to work until he figured out how to dis-engage the garage door opener to get out.
2. We put a motion detector up, and ran a wire to a lamp in our bedroom. The light came when it detected motion, and he did not know that it was there. It got him caught many times.
I am thankful that my Kid survived those days, and us to.
About the emotions. I found that I got angry too often at my children. and sought the help of a doctor. I was put on anti-depresants, even though I felt I wasn't depressed. It worked and I am thankful that my pride did not prevent me from getting help. My Kids still ask me when I get angry, "Mom, did you forget your medicine?", its become a joke to us, that we can laugh about now, but it wasn't so funny when they were little.
Please hang in there, I pray for you and your family often.
Love you.

I tried leaving a comment before and it wouldn't go. One more try......Wow! I am praying for your family. We are in a very similiar situation. We have 3 bio kids and 2 we have guardianship of for almost 3 years. I am wearing out. We have made one of the hardest decisions that we have ever had to make. We are concerned for the safety of our youngest bio because of the oldest we have guardianship of. We are always concerned for the safety of the 2 we have guardianship of. We live on a farm and there are many dangers. They wait until my back is turned and do the opposite of what I ask. You know. Stealing, lying, cheating, manipulation, roaming the house at night......it is much easier for them to do these things than show love for another. We did believe that God brought them to us but God has entrusted our own bio kids to us first. We are making a heartwrenching decision to give them up. I feel like I am grieving a death. I am praying for your family. You are an inspiration to me and I hope that you continue to blog.
