[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 124372, member: 2211"] Witz and Abbey, I told H tonight, after things started getting heated, that I am tired of putting our marriage and happines on hold due to difficult child's drama and theatrics. He just kind of looked at me. But I think I saw some hope behind his eyes. difficult child is a complete mess right now - like 'a trapped rat in a maze and no way out' would descibe it about right. She's sobbing and begging us to let her have the car, just till she gets some money and can put it into her name. She says she needs to leave to be independent, her friend's going to let her stay in her extra room. She starts work tomorrow, she has to leave....blah blah blah. I said, "Honey, I'd rather you do the right thing and get a better start, work, save some money before moving out. BUT if you're bent on moving out, you have my blessing. I get it - you want out. That's fine. When you transfer everything for your car into your name and get some insurance for yourself, you can come back for it." That's when she flipped out. "Please, please, can't I just have it now so I can leave and I will change everything over when I get my first check?? Please mom! YOu don't get it!!" meanwhile, sobbing the whole while. I didn't crack!! I was strong, not one tear shed. H backed me up, went into the room and repeated everything I said. We're united. I feel strong. I still think we should just let her learn the hard way - H still thinks he can get her to understand. I told him if he wants to try, go for it, but the second we turn our backs, she's gone. He knows it too. Anyway, had to post the update! Please please please, send strength. Thanks [/QUOTE]
