[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 521410"] I agree with Nancy... I hesitate to put my 2cents in - my mommy heart is hurting for your daughter - and I completely understand that giving her the benefit of the doubt and letting her continue to live at home is the "ideal/easy child" response. I know if she were your easy child, you wouldn't think twice about opening your home to her. I also feel bad because the writing was on the wall with this boss and I really don't think losing the job was something she could control. That said, I keep thinking back to you rushing home a few months ago after you got the call at work. I think about all the times I lowered the bar with my difficult child because I thought I was giving him reasonable 2nd chances. I think of you having to remind the police officer that your daughter is 26 and not just a run-of the-mill rebellious teenager. I think of how much you will lose if you let her stay with you. And that even an extended stay (just a few days past the agreed upon spring break) may just cause her to dig her heels in further. If I remember correctly, she has wanted to move home forever. This may be the chance she has been waiting for. That said, I really do think keeping that job was beyond her control. But she broke the rules of the sober house and even in dire straights - she may have to be the one to pay the price. Can you find her a mission? Or a temporary room? I don't know... you are really between a rock and a hard place and I completely understand your dilemma and I know you must feel very conflicted. Whatever you decide, I am with you 100%. Do what's right for YOU. {hugs} [/QUOTE]
