[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 587028, member: 6546"] Well, well, well.... must be WONDERFUL to have all the answers to everything all the time! Is "ossy" really in denial? or is he a difficult child in his own right? Cause it sure is a difficult child trait to sidestep the issue, blame others, and then act as if YOU are the one with the problem! Meanwhile - (and remember, I offer this standing in my OWN shoes....not in yours) yes, your daughter has a MH issue. But is she really so incapable of functioning that she cannot take care of herself? Young adults are supposed to go through a time where they have to fend for themselves on very few resources....room with three other people and eat ramen noodles every night just to get by....work crazy jobs with crazy shifts...meet weird people....have their hearts broken a few times....have adventures they probably won't share with Mom and Dad...etc etc etc... before finally settling into the adults they will become. And she's going to do many of those things whether she shares your address or not. There is so much that is just beyond your control... I don't know whether you allowing her to live with you for a while longer will be beneficial to her or not. In the long run....it may not make any difference. She is going to be who she is going to be. So it really comes down to YOU and YOUR mental health....YOUR peace of mind. If it is easier and gives you more peace of mind to have her live with you - then I think you need to find a way to accept many of your daughter's behaviors. I don't think the leopard will change its spots - at least not while everything remains staus-quo. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
