[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 12273, member: 1514"] hearthope.. I didnt really respond to your post because I thought I didnt have much to offer because I hadnt managed to get my kid out but then I remembered my own story and thought that might be good for you to hear. I am sure by now you know I was a pretty impressive difficult child in my own right. I could give many of our difficult child's on here a run for their money. I damaged my room badly. I had my oldest son quite early and got married early. When all that happened and I moved out finally...also my mom and dad separated for an upcoming divorce...my dad cleaned out my room and put his foot down. He boxed up my stuff and told me he threw it away. (I later found out he saved some of it) I was told I could no longer treat HIS house as if it was my personal punching bag. If I came there I was a guest. I was to ask first and maybe I would be allowed to stay a night or two. I was mad let me tell you! How dare he! He stopped my cash flow for partying and all good times. But ya know what? I admire him now. I would have never learned to stand on my two feet if he kept enabling me. My mom still tried. She wanted me to be down and out so she kept me in that position. Only when I finally got fed up with her and moved away from her too did I learn. My dad is the one who gave me the wings. He helped me. When I did things right he cheered me on. He stood on the side lines and watched me flounder and fall and then he watched me get my footing again. Im sure none of it was easy for him and Im sure there were many times he worried himself to death over me but he didnt rush in. He couldnt. He did the right thing. [/QUOTE]
