[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 420420, member: 1991"] Jena, the point here is NOT to make it difficult for her, but simply to not enable her. There is a huge difference. You gave her two choices. She has taken one of those choices. You now need to follow through as a parent. You have already done this by saying, "We will keep paying for your therapy," even though you suspect she will try to skip out on therapy. Her choice. She is moving - her choice. But it was an option you gave her (because she was going to take it anyway - smart move on your part). So don't make this any harder tan it has to be, for you or for her. Insist on your rules as is your right, but otherwise - smile. Give her a hug goodbye. NEVER let the sun go down on your anger, as my elderly aunt used to say. husband & I never leave without a kiss goodbye and a hug. Even if one of us is just going down to the local shop. Because you never know when it might be for the last time. And also because it's what we do to show our connection. So don't put unnecessary obstacles in her way. Just the logical ones. There will be more than enough of those! Marg [/QUOTE]
