[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 620805, member: 1550"] The difference between young difficult children (by "young" I mean minors) and legal adults is that you CAN'T tell them what to do unless they care what you say. So it is pointless to try to tell them who to hang around with because it is not very likely that most eighteen year olds will pay much attention to what you say. Like you, I was a difficult child, and I would have seen whoever I wanted to see anyways. Of course, I did get pretty much thrown out, but my life was better for it. Maybe this boys will be too if it happens. His control freak parents sound worse than many of our difficult children!!!! Does Angel have any adult services in place? Has she been evaluated for possibly being disabled? She sounds like the autism has really caused her to be socially clueless, which may have been the cause of her outburst. Do you have any plans for her as an adult? It sounds very hard on you to have her there and I would love to see you have some peace and serenity while knowing that Angel is in good hands. Have you looked at group homes or is she high functioning enough to live in an apartment on her own and follow the rules? None of us can care for a difficult child forever and have any sort of a good life. They wear us out and ruin our health, even if they don't mean to. [/QUOTE]
