What's one more???
Thanks for the support! You are a great bunch of people!
I am glad to have learned about these other things that have been going on, but I am at a total loss regarding how to deal with the problems! I now have a teenager who is crushed because she has lost her car...plus she hates me right now because of the restrictions I have placed on her. I am also in the position of possibly pressing charges against someone she cares about...so she thinks I am out to ruin her life. I don't know why kids have to be so hard! Honestly, I am glad I only have one. I love her dearly, but I do not envy people who have to deal with more than one!

Terri, I KNOW prayer works, so you will all definately be in mine. My kids are 8 and 5, so I won't pretend to know what you're going thru, but I do know sometimes it's harder for me to be "the parent" when it means not being "the friend". Placing restrictions and following thru with them is the right thing to do. Hope all is well.CornCrazy said:

just one more....
sorry to hear about your troubles. Your daughter will realize eventually that you are doing everything for her own good and appreciate it. It may not be soon, but she will know it someday and be thankful she has such a good mother! God bless

It seems like this accident was no "accident". It was intended to bring about awareness of, and hopefully changes in, the other issue. I hope that your daughter learns to appreciate more than the car. I mean your love and concern for her. Take good care of her, it sounds like she needs you whether she knows it or not.

Teenage girls are a hoot aren't they? I swear my daughter was going to petition to get adopted. The aliens took my real daughter when she turned 13..and returned her when she was 17. I think they tweaked her or something, 'cause she's the best kid around now that's she's 18.
She's moved into town with some friends of hers (we are in the country) and she drove all the way here today to get a hug..as she lost 3 aquaintences over the past week due to different car accidents..
I'm glad your daughter is alright!!
I empathize with you...
I'm just going to leave my other kids on the doorstep for the aliens this time..maybe at 12..can't start that tweakin' too early! :crazy02:

Terri, I am so sorry to hear about this!
I'm glad your daughter is okay, and she may be mad at you right now, but she WILL get over it. I was in the same situation when my son was 16, only it was ours (not his) that got totaled. A brand new not even 6 month old $30,000+ Chevy Avalanche. My husband's dream truck. It got paid off, but we couldn't replace the down payment we put on it, and we now drive a 1994 Tracker and a 1992 Roadmaster lol.
He had to buy his own vehicle, and believe me, is a much improved driver. I hope the other things are not too serious, if you need to talk, you know I'm here for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers today.------>Sending big hugs.

I have missed this post until now and I am terribly sorry to hear about these unfortunate events. I too know what you are going through, just from a different perspective. I am now the wonderful daughter (after being returned from the aliens) that raised hell for my poor dear mom as soon as I turned 13.
Just be there for her, never give up on her, and make sure she knows that you love her with every ounce of your being regardless of what she does. Things will turn around, just trust that you have raised her to have a good heart and sound mind. Like people have said, cars are replacable, precious daughters are not. The restrictions are for her own good and as much as she may "hate" you now, you are saving her life and she will love you for it later. I hope things work out and I send you my love, luck, and good fortune.

Wow~ it's a miracle no one was hurt!
Teenagers are such a challenge!
I've been told they grow out of it~ I sure hope so! My sons are 16 and 14~ and the older they get the dumber I get........
They'll grow out of it. I'm sure.......
Hang in there Terry~ at least now your a parent on a mission (instead of the clueless category I suspect I am in!)

Wow. She's a lucky girl. She should be thankful to be alive to suffer the lectures, restrictions, and embarrassment. Losing a few privileges is nothing next to losing EVERYTHING. Those pics must make you sick to your stomach. They are disturbing.CornCrazy said:

My good friend in high school totalled her car like that. Her passanger lost his lower leg. It is very scary to think about.
When I bought my first car my step dad drove it before hand, I wasn't allowed anything that peppy. I drove an all steal (body seperate from the chasy) jeep grand wagoneer '86. I loved that car, but it couldn't do above 65 mph. It was a tank, & it wasn't cool, but my parents knew that it would win in almost any car accident.
I'm still not cool, I drive a 96 conversion van.
Thank god everyone's alright.

Ya, just seeing pictures of your car I am having flashbacks of my own accident. Everyone is very lucky. When you walk out of an accident like that with only cuts and bruises you are being given a second chance. Something like that it is not to be taken forgranted. Scary sight. . . .I hope things improve.

I'm glad no one got seriously hurt, and I hope things work out
My best friend right now is spending his days in his bedroom recovering from an accident he had about two weeks ago. A head on collision, He had to be cut out of the car and rushed to the hospital with a collapsed lung, broken wrist and broken leg. The person in the other car unfortunatly wasn't so lucky.
Again, I hope everything works out for the best

You and your family are in my prayers, sorry to hear about this accident. It looks like you have a lot of support here and I can do nothing but agree with everyone here. Stay strong, and remember that you are both lucky to have eachother, there are those of us that don't have children (yet) and I am sure when the time comes it will be tough to go through these things, but she will appreciate everything she has been given in time, she has all of her emotions going crazy as well as accepting responsibility, etc. Good luck with everything and by the looks of those pictures, she is one lucky lady!!!

1.1 Beautiful kids....
Terri...
Just saw this post, my thoughts are with you. (Hug) As others have said...thank God only the car was wrecked ! Your Daughter had an Angel watching out for her for sure.
Keep your chin up, as I've found out in the past couple of years, being a Parent means sometimes a child will be upset with you. No matter what tho, they love you, and will come to understand in time <smile>.
