[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 124906, member: 84"] I'm hoping that her realizing she has no skills to live on her own and that it scared her sticks. Fear can be an awesome motivator. Maybe once the honeymoon wears off (and we all know it probably will eventually) a gentle reminder about her being scared to be on her own will snap her out of it. Hard to tell. I'm impressed she confessed she's not ready to live on her own yet. Baby step there. (as long as she remembers it) I like how when she decided she was staying that you pointed out that the situation has actually little to do with HER but how/what you will allow in your house and the family to endure. Puts a new perspective on it for difficult child. Never know, that might just nag at her a bit. lol Nichole and I had a similar talk a while ago. I "think" it stuck. At least I'm seeing moves toward independence lately. Now if I can just get her to realize she DOES NOT need to depend on boyfriend for that independence I'll have struck a homerun. lol I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya, but I think having a deadline is a good idea. Hugs [/QUOTE]
