[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 576914, member: 1550"] You handled it well! You have an 18 year old here who is putting her boyfriend before you and mother, not uncommon. May not be a good boyfriend or a smart choice, but NOT uncommon. The more you push against this boyfriend, the more like Romeo and Juliette they become. I would like to add, for those of us who suffer from mental illness, that schizophrenia and bipolar does not make anybody violent though. Would I want that for my grown child? Nope, but what could I do to stop it? Nothing. The more you try to control her, the more she will probably resist, unless/until she breaks up with this honey. Or he dumps her. Sounds like this difficult child always had issues and never got any help. That's too bad, but it's sort of too late now unless she agrees to go. Right now in my opinion you and wife should enjoy each other and your freedom. Likely difficult child will be back in your lives someday and you may not be so happy to see her. Doesn't sound like she is too likely to admit she was 100% wrong and apologize. But...ya never know :) [/QUOTE]
