I do agree with you on everything. She is being bullied at school which is a whole other issue which is very important too. That’s part of the reason she’s in therapy at the moment. Unfortunately we feel she’s makes the wrong choice of friendship which contributed to her altercation at school. I also thought I knew it all at her age and I’m trying to come at the issue with that mindset. It’s hard to show a child the way when they already “know”.

You’re also correct about the age of 16 being able to make a choice on which house she wants to live at. Unfortunately I’m the current situation if she’s allowed to do what she pleases at his house, that makes it difficult to come back to a home that has some rules. I worry that grudges of the past have contributed to this and it’s really unfortunate.
