So to make a long story short. My stepdaughter is crying wolf Everytime she gets in trouble that she's "having suicidal thoughts" of course we have to treat it like she's serious. She's been sent to psych ward twice. This time when she got sent back, she's been an absolute brat. She's disrespectful to her mom and expects to get her way bc, ***her words** "I'll just get myself sent back if y'all are going to treat me this way"

***Disclaimer. She's actually at one point said that getting sent to the psych ward is a "vacation" for her. That's why we think she's crying wolf.

Mom and dad can't get on the same page. Mom acts like nothing has happened and lets her go places UNSUPERVISED dad has rules here. No locked doors no phone privileges unless an adult is present.

I'm just at a loss as what to do. From someone whose been wheres she's at I want to help. But she refuses to talk to anyone. 😭😭😭 Any friendly advice would be welcome!!!
