When do you feel a child needs to leave the home? When is enough enough?

[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 280337, member: 6546"] MWM-- Thank you for bringing this up.... As you all know, we have been struggling with this question in our own home. What is OK? What is normal? Where is the line? For us, our difficult child is our biological child. There is no other parent, step-parent, ex-parent, grandparent, or biological relative that we can send her to when we need a break.....we are it. At this point, we have drawn a "line in the sand" as it were. We set the rules that can absolutely NOT be broken no matter what. If difficult child breaks one of those rules, we are seeking to place her outside the home. We have made it clear to her that she will always be a part of our family, but if she wants to live with us--the choice is hers. She will abide by our rules or no longer be welcome here. It's very hard.....but it's the best solution we can come up with at the moment. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
