[QUOTE="Distressed, post: 523129, member: 14383"] As per the advise of "Midwest Mom" I will post this here. by the way: I added some more information from the original post. I live in NY with my Husband and 18 year old Daughter. She has gotten so out of control that I am seeking out my options. She has stolen from us, gotten physical with us and we have had to call the police numerous times. She had a beautiful room that she has put holes in the walls and trashed. After the last physical altercation a police officer that came to us advised us to clean out her room and leave nothing but her bed, a dresser and her clothes. We took his advice and followed it. She walked in saw her room, shrugged her shoulders and said "I can live with this" and went to bed. She has been diagnosed with Bi-Polar 1 disorder, ODD, ADD and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. She is on a lot of medications and only take them when she want to. Reminding her to take them is a fight also and she still forgets. She was smoking pot but hasn't in a while. We know this from random drug tests we make her take. I take her to therapy EVERY Thursday and to the Psychiatrist 2xs a month as well. It seems like a waste of time. I have been told that by law we are financially responsible for her until she is 21 and can not legally "kick her out", but if she is physically abusive and is stealing from us, what are our rights? We can not be expected to have her arrested every time she does something and continue waiting for "the next time". If she can't respect our property and us she has to leave, but why should we be held responsible for her financially if we are already paying for her room and board here and she refuses to follow the rules that come with it. Does anyone know the answer to this? What are our rights? Please help. -A desperate Mother [/QUOTE]
