[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 294931"] How many extra bedrooms do you have? How comfy is it for your daughter to stay? You might make it a little less comfy. If after two months, your daughter doesn't have her act together, I wouldn't let this concern you in the least. Perhaps she can find a friend to stay with. Also, do you have caller ID? Just keep repeating to yourself that you are worth this time to yourself. This "time" includes physical time and mental energies. You said in your profile that you have a tendency toward depression. It takes ACTION to keep that at bay. If you allow yourself to get bogged down in your adult children's problems and allow them to stay at your home for long periods of time, that depression is going to bite you where the sun doesn't shine. I say "depression, depression go away, come again ....NEVER!" So...simply because you are a beautiful, worthwhile, adult woman and deserve your peace of mind and happiness and also because you have had to fight off depression and certainly don't want it to make a reappearance, then keep telling yourself that you will do what you need to do, whether that is limiting your phone conversations or whatever. Keep saying to yourself "I am worth it!" [/QUOTE]
