We have a 15 year old daughter who has gotten involved with a bad crowd and has been getting into some trouble (ditching school, drinking). We have been imposing curfews, grounding her, speaking with her school counselor etc. in an attempt to curb this and get her back on track.
My sister, who had been the "problem child" of our family suggested that I let our daughter visit her for awhile. We thought that a different perspective might not be a bad idea so we agreed. Our daughter is home again but worse than ever and we now found out that my sister told her about all the stuff she pulled as a kid and suggested that our daughter officially accuse me of child abuse as a way to get me"off her back".
What would possess an adult to behave this way, especially a relative who says that she loves the child?
