[QUOTE="Bean, post: 463155, member: 8620"] Sorry hon. Don't know what to tell you[I] exactly[/I] as far as what to do. Always so hard to know, as each child is different. Your daughter has many similarities to mine. Mine is 20, still hasn't graduated. She's build her own walls. She makes bad choices. She doesn't go off for days (at least as far as I know, and not now) because she's not allowed to stay at our house because she can't live within the rules we have set. I have other kids to raise who are still at home (don't remember if you do), and my own mental health, and a marriage to contend to. Lots of times these kids can suck up every spare bit of energy you have. I don't doubt a the majority of difficult children have some sort of depression/anxiety/bipolar - [I]some[/I] mental health issue. Sometimes that will come and go as a part of adolescence, but more often it is something that a person deals with their entire life (meaning this could go on a loooooooooooong time). I guess you have to decide what kind of boundaries or expectations you have for adult children that live with you and go from there. [/QUOTE]
