[QUOTE="Sabine, post: 620368, member: 17639"] Moving is definitely a legitimate consideration, for some. As for this situation, it sounds like the kids need some rules to live by, if they want the privilege of staying. Daughter must go to counseling and clean up her room, and pay rent. Son.. it would be better if he went to a 4 year college that is located at least 3 hours from home. He could stay in the dorms or get a room outside of the school. Financial aid and student loans are widely available. Just a note: Your daughter really does sound troubled. Raped, and now she's a lesbian? Doubt the two concepts have nothing to do with each other. She's been begging for you to talk with her about her issues. Do you think she's HONESTLY wanting you to talk, or is she somehow manipulating you? If she honestly wants to have this discussion with you, then it may be helpful to just do it. I know it's not comfortable to talk about sex with our kids, but if it would help.. it would help. The both of you should go talk with the counselor together, the counselor could help ask the right questions and mediate the conversation (since it's obvious the communication between you is not .. functional). -Hugs [/QUOTE]
