[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 124522, member: 3626"] As you said, she will be back. It will take using up all of her resources (now I started doubting how to spell it) but once gone, she'll be back. She'll probably be jobless, homeless, have lost at least half of her things, her friends. She'll promise the sun, the moon, the stars to come back home. She'll get comfortable, go back to old ways, be forced to leave again when you're adamant on rules being following ...... Amazingly, if ths happens enough and the bottom becomes a bit rockier every time, she may actually get it and move out the right way. This is what is happening with my daughter. It's been a slow, painful journey (on both sides) but, hopefully, this phase of the journey is almost over. She's saving money, she's making some real plans, she's asking for help about furnishings, etc. She's not just planning to move out and live with whomever has room. She's not making bad choices here in the hopes she'll be kicked out. As much as it hurts and as frightening as it is, you're doing the right thing. Some of our kids don't get it until they have to try on their own. HUGS to you and husband. [/QUOTE]
