[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 427624, member: 2211"] [COLOR="#483d8b"]I agree, stay out of it. It's difficult to do, but try. Let him make the offer himself-don't even mention it to difficult child. As for his comment about jail being good for her, what did he mean? Was it said in terms of difficult child having a roof over her head, food and distance from the boyfriend? Because, if so, I would almost agree. Jail isn't the place we want any of our kids to end up, but [I]sometimes[/I] it can be for their own safety (and others). When does difficult child get released? Doesn't the jail provide them with names of shelters if there is no family involved or does that vary from state to state? My friends 22y/o daughter was released after a 6 month sentence and they gave her a list of possible shelters. However, she ended up back in her 47y/o's boyfriend's apt and he was/is abusive. My ex was always giving me advice about difficult child when she was at her worst. Thing is, difficult child was just like him at her worst...and just like him, there was no getting through to her. The rest of the time, he had no real interest except on holidays when he could bring them to family gatherings and show them off. I hope your difficult child has taken this time to grow up a little and get her life together. Big hugs to you. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
