[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 433341, member: 84"] Well, I know you love her and this is what you've been waiting to hear. I know you want your easy child girl back. Sad to say though, too much water under the bridge. I'm going to be honest with you, I think you even considering letting her return home is a major bad idea. At least at this point in the game. If you want my pessimistic opinion? Someone wants to go to prom, wants you to foot the bill.........after the way you've been treated. That's a lot of gall even for a difficult child child, let alone a easy child one. She needs you because she decided to go off on a wild tangent. But truth of the matter is, you don't need her or her stress or her demands and requests. It's happened time and time again on this board. Parents let the child return home and if they're lucky they get a couple weeks honeymoon and wham it's worse than it was before they left the first time. Then parents face yet again the stress, drama, and sheer effort of trying to get the child OUT again, while kicking themselves for ever having let them come back home in the first place. Be wary of her motives. easy child or not, 18 is still a very selfish age. Even if she is remorseful and wants to change.......it appears she is wanting you to do the fixing for her while she pretends nothing ever happened. And when that doesn't work.....because you can't fix it for her.......you're going to be right back where you started. If she has a job she can save up money and rent an apartment. Maybe you could help via yard sales, thrift stores and such to help her furnish it. Transportation is her problem. How is she getting there now? Sorry to be such a downer as I know these were things you were so hoping to hear from easy child, I just don't want to see you go through all the hades again. Hugs [/QUOTE]
