[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 735831, member: 17720"] Oh Z, I'm so sorry. You've been through the wringer. Sleeping on the porch after all that bridge-burning? That's too much! No, that won't do! That reminds me so much of my son at that age. He was going to "show us" at any cost to himself or others. Combine that rebellious teen spirit with social awkwardness that magically disappears with some drugs on board, and it's a recipe for disaster. I remember when he was 15 or 16, he came back after a 10-day absence and blithely told [U][I][B]US [/B][/I][/U]how things were going to be from now on, if we expected him to stay. Sigh... Well, obviously you can't have her living with you with property damage, threats of physical violence and theft. You can't give her a comfy place to get high and arrange Tinder encounters; doing so makes you complicit in her bad choices. I don't want to read too much into your post, but it sure sounds like she might be into worse drugs than MJ. Is there a trusted and neutral person she respects, who might be able to have a frank discussion with her about that? In the meantime, I agree 100% with your decision to tell her to leave. You aren't kicking her out; you are giving her the liberty to live the consequences of her decisions. As SWOT and Tired Mama said, our "children" are much more resourceful than we give them credit for. [/QUOTE]
