[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 389430, member: 6705"] HUGS!!!! You did the right thing. Katie so needs a whack upside the head (figuratively) to get herself out of the hole she has dug for herself. Let me say something here. My husband and kids are difficult children. I might be one, too. But I have a steady job. I make a decent salary. We're not rich, but we live in a decent part of town, nice house, have plenty of food - and husband likes to spend money, trust me, on stuff like that. The biggest difference? M walks on Katie, and that's just that. She [I]allows[/I] it. And only [I]she[/I] can make the decision to stop allowing it. But - change is HARD. She's in her comfort zone. She's not going ANYWHERE unless forced - as you pushed her to Dayton. Yes, the shelter will make them leave for the day. But let me tell ya something... If the shelter food is unpalatable? Oh well. If you are hungry enough, you'll eat anything. Kayla is one smart cookie, held back or no. And she'll make it out of this. Alex and Evan? Well, with help. Rattling beads and praying for the little ones. [/QUOTE]
