[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 333758, member: 1514"] I am one who thought my kid couldnt make it out there but I was wrong. Actually, having three kids it was a mixed bag for us. With the middle boy, he was the first one to leave and it was really sort of natural but also broke our hearts...lol. He left at 18 to join the Marines. Gosh was that hard! Felt like we were sending our baby into he lion's den. We were so proud of him but so scared to death. Next to leave was our youngest son and that was under bad terms. We really let him stay much too long and he was out of control and he committed some crimes against us. He had finally pushed us past what we could accept and he just had to go. I really think we should have pushed him out sooner and maybe things wouldnt have got to the level they got. But hindsight is 20/20. Now, we just have my oldest at home and my SO and I disagree on him. He does have some disabilities but I am not sure if they are enough to limit him to having to live here or not. Its an iffy situation. One I am trying to work on at this time. [/QUOTE]
