[QUOTE="Bean, post: 457498, member: 8620"] I've been where you are. Still am. As much as I don't want to bash their sister, I also don't want to paint a picture of a reality that isn't there. We've gone through a lot of trauma in our house, so that might be a bit different than you. By the time it came to kicking my daughter out, her brothers were actually relieved. I don't know how that was internalized for them, though. Now, as they get older, I think they are understanding a bit better, though denying housing rights, rides and what would be regular help to the average Joe never quite feels... "normal" to me. But it has become our normal. Sometimes talking to others, a counselor, can help put in perspective what is not normal. I had to ask my counselor quite a few times, [I]this is weird, right? - or this isn't really acceptable, right?[/I] Even finding out my daughter is prostituting herself, there was a brain-warp for me to understand it. I also understand the texting/internet thing. My daughter would harass her brothers to get to me. Texting them, Facebooking them. Keista said it, though - tell them. Matter of factly. They should "get it" they are old enough. Tell them that behavior is not acceptable to you in your home. [/QUOTE]
