[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 191493, member: 3907"] Katya, it's really hard. You get to the point where you're ready to toss your difficult child out on his ear, but you also desperately want to help, desperately want to hope that this one time they will hear you, they will get it, and they will clean up their act. It's possible that difficult child will have gotten the message from your husband. Possibly not. However, husband made it very clear to difficult child where he stands. So...he's following all of your house rules and that's good. Hopefully it will bring a measure of peace into your home that you haven't had for a while. But, what it does do is it makes very clear for your difficult child that it's UP TO HIM. It isn't that mom and dad kicked him out. If he breaks the rules again and has to leave, then those are the natural consequences of HIS behaviour. You've drawn your line. It's up to difficult child to walk it. Now...if he does slip up, you and husband have to hold firm and make him go. If you don't, then he will continue to abuse your home and your family. I know it's hard. Sending hugs and saying prayers for peace. Trinity [/QUOTE]
