Have you ever *really* thrown your kid out?

[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 371241, member: 87"] Well, we threw our oldest difficult child (now 30) out when she was 19. It was for the best. She was abusing drugs and wouldn't give up going to raves (leaving Friday after work and being gone all weekend and then going straight to work Monday morning). She wasn't really verbally abusive to us, but she was to her younger difficult child sister and was kicking her in the legs. Anyway, at first she had nowhere to live and stayed with friends or lived in her car for the first 3 months. Then she found 2 girls to live with in a not-so-safe area. But she survived and she got better on her own. However, she was always very independent. Younger difficult child is ODD and Bi-Polar and we suspect Borderline (BPD). She is emotionally immature and very dependent on us. Even as her older sister says, "She'll die out there in the real world." She has no money and nowhere to live. We've tried kicking her out and she just sat in her car with her hand on the horn or just plain wouldn't leave the house. We didn't want to have the police involved. And so for now, we allow her to live here. I think one day we'll kick ourselves for not kicking her out. Everyone's situation is different. Each child is different. It's hard, I know. Hugs, Sue [/QUOTE]
