[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 198965, member: 3907"] Jane, I'm sorry to hear that difficult child 1 is up to her old tricks, but I can't say I'm surprised that she's trying to con your easy child. On the good side, it does sound like your easy child is keeping a firm head on his shoulders. I think he's making a sensible move to extricate himself from any living arrangement that involves shared accommodation with difficult child and her boyfriend. Your younger daughter is probably right on target that difficult child 1 will try to guilt-trip him into staying, or financing her and boyfriend, or letting them stay with him if he gets a place of his own. In your PCs shoes, I would make sure that any stuff I have is safe and then just quietly set about finding a new place without telling difficult child or boyfriend. Only when new accommodations were locked in, would I mention to difficult child the plan to move out. As a fait accompli rather than something I was contemplating. The advantages: - easy child has a safe place to go that's away from difficult child and boyfriend, should they make a scene or make things uncomfortable for him - It's already a done deal so difficult child doesn't have the opportunity to try and talk him out of it - He doesn't have to be drawn into their daily drama. In the peace and quiet of a place away from her, easy child has time and space to figure out which direction he wants his life to go. Just my $0.02 Trinity [/QUOTE]
