[QUOTE="nvts, post: 348471, member: 3814"] Hi Mog! How're you holding up? Listen, I can sort of see where each one of them is coming from. As far as you and easy child. She's 19 now and has behaved responsibly - going to college, involved with church etc. She's at an age where she's trying to break free and show you that you did a good job. I'd suggest that you don't knock the boyfriend and just be there to help pick up the pieces. As far as she and difficult child: she's hurt and frustrated. For as long as she can remember, she's tried to stay close, she's tried to accept and love him and it's been a sense of banging her head against the wall. The cd's were probably the last straw. HOWEVER: if she's away at college and is only coming home for summer vacation - there could be an alternative motivation - like: the boyfriend has an apartment for the whole year and she can stay with him and it "wouldn't be her fault" that she had to move in! difficult child needs to make amends. Sometimes people aren't willing to accept your apologies. Tell him to make sure that he is sincere in his conversation and to move on if she won't take it. She'll get over it! Beth [/QUOTE]
