[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 654689, member: 1157"] Ugh, waiting for something to happen is just the worst. I think you're doing great, though. When she was in her early 20s, Oldest used to try to find ways to come home (I kicked her out at 19, for a multitude of reasons). It was exhausting dealing with the constant back and forth, the promises to be better, the "woe is me" stories. But at one point, my therapist said to me, "most adult kids work to find ways to LEAVE home - not to go BACK home. Tell her she has it backwards!" That was one of those "light bulb" moments for me. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
