[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 617967, member: 17269"] Tryagain...I KNOW in my heart that you are doing the right thing. YOu can't let her come live in your house again, for so many reasons...if only because old patterns die hard, sh'ell be stressed and she'll do what it is she is used to doing in your house, even if she wouldn't do it anywhere else...since in this case that involves knives...it just isn't possible. MOre importantly...it is your house. Your sweet short life. She has one too (a sweet short life) and she can manage hers. You need to manage yours. You don't have to tell her what to do (stay there till boyfriend can move) you can just tell her what YOU are going to do,k which is continue to keep your house peaceful with you and your husband, and live a calm and peaceful life. And wish her luck. You cannot be the answer to her problems. She needs to work a little harder and figure something out independently...she is too ol, and too much water under the bridge, to just fall back on mom and dad. You did the right thing. I know it is hard. Bless you for managing to say it, that must have been diffficult. Hold on to that thought. This is right for you. It is right for your home, your space, your marriage. She sounds resourceful...she'll figure it out once she sees that this particular door is closed to her. Good luck. PS some one who hangs up on you when you tell them something that they don't want to hear shouldn' be living in your house. Hold on to that thought too. [/QUOTE]
