[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 523285, member: 1514"] I also think this law was made so that parents were supposed to support their kids through college but it has made things really difficult for parents of difficult child's. I know there is something about social services and there was a parent here from New York with an adult kid a few years ago. I cant remember all the details but from what I remember it went something like this. You can make your house rules very basic such as curfew at 10 pm during the week...or even 9. 11 on weekends. No drugs or alcohol at all. Room to be picked up. Medication to be taken at all times. No car rides except to doctor appts or therapy. If she is still in school she must attend school. If not in school she must get a job. Things like that. Now if she isnt in the house by 10. You can lock her out. She is breaking a house rule. That is within your rights. As far as you not wanting to call the police and having her arrested, well I do understand your sentiments but she is the one who is committing the crimes of property damage. If she were doing this to anyone else they would have her arrested in a minute. You need to do it too. I know its easier said than done but I have done it. Most of us here have done it. Or maybe not most but lots of us. We know its not easy. [/QUOTE]
