[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 218780, member: 1550"] But in most states, 17 is or is very close to a legal adult. The parent can't do anything to an adult child other than make the child leave their home if they disagree with their lifestyle. My daughter at 17, when she was in therapy, did not tell me anything about the sessions and I was told that I would not be told anything because of her age. It is hard to continue to parent a 17 year old like a younger child, even a younger teen. The law isn't on your side. That's when the hard choices come in. We made my drug-using daughter leave our house at 18. That worked well for her. It doesn't go as well for everyone, but that is the only choice we have by that age--put up with them or tell them to leave. [/QUOTE]
