[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 168259, member: 1169"] Bran, First (((HUGS))). husband and I actually considered something similar (he was going to get an apt for him & Kanga and we were hoping to use respite weekends to allow him time to come home and see us). But Kanga is 13, your daughter is 17 -- how long until she turns 18? On her 18th birthday, she moves out. Some suggestions until then: 1. She threatens physical violence, call the police. 2. husband needs to stop breaking things. Take them away, but breaking them makes him look to be part of the problem (I know he isn't, we've broken a few things here ourselves until we learned that it didn't work and it felt better to donate the stuff to charity rather than just destroy it.) 3. Start telling her now that she will be moving out on her 18th birthday. Find the number of a women's shelter (although many of our kids end up bouncing from friend to friend at least for a while). Change the locks on your place and your sister's. 4. Could your son go to your sister's whenever difficult child is home? [/QUOTE]
