Impossible to reason with her since everything comes back to "I don't care". Her grades and school attendance have tanked over the last year. No apparent drug issues other than alcohol, but even that seems modest. We have never seen her noticeably "drunk". We are not very strict parents and have done everything possible for her. What can one do when they're so close to 18 and tell you they're going to leave home as soon as they turn 18? I feel like we will never see or hear from her again. It's incredibly sad.

My daughter became diffident and apathetic towards us. Her grades were good, but she was too involved with her friends. I did not like the friends or their family. She didn't care about us only them, and she was selfish and devoid of empathy.
In retrospect. while she was still under 18, I wish we had taken her out of that school and sent her to a therapeutic boarding school. Not an abusive place. While we still had control.
I wish we had sent her here.
