[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 87545, member: 696"] we asked difficult child 2 to leave when he was 16 1/2. We found stems and seed on our counter. difficult child 2 moved in with a buddy who was 20, who was living with a girl. I payed a portion of the rent as he was under 18. We didn't give him transportation though. He floundered for about a year. He attempted one job and didn't pass the drug test. He stole something from us and we made him repay it. We gave him a choice of pay up or lose all financial support from us. He got a job with a staffing company and gave me all his checks until the bill was paid off. He quit the job and moved in with-girlfriend and started school thereafter. At some point, both of you will find the line in the sand that cannot be crossed. difficult child 2 had no relationship with husband for almost 2-3yrs. They did not talk at all. He's 20 now and things are much better. He finished school, is employed, calls husband by himself (not using me as the messenger) calls to say hi, how are things going, learning to manage money, making and keeping appointments. I don't know how long it will continue, but I pray that it never stops. difficult child 2 knows where he stands with husband and he knows what we've done for him. It's up to him to sustain the relationship if he wants. in my humble opinion, we'll always be here. I kept him on our health insurance because I can. We all have to try things and make it work within our own family. It's great to have different opinions here and see what others are doing as well. [/QUOTE]
