[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 378576"] Bean, I think you did absolutely the right thing, really the only thing you can do. I think it is a gift in a way you caught her red handed because it makes it more clearer for you. She is not going to get it, if she gets away with all that bad behavior in your home. My son is definitely behaving better towards us since he has been home. Of course it has only been 2 weeks. And definitely there are issues as seen by my post on the substance abuse forum..... I know we have many more bumps in our journey with him. But kicking him out and having him stay out for 2 months was GOOD for all of us. He finally made some real effort and went to finish his school work needed fo his diploma and now has gotten himself a paying job. That is absolutely huge and steps in the right direction. He now knows if he starts with previous behavior we WILL kick him out. I think while out of the house he learned that things are not so easy else where. All those were really good lessons for him. So she will learn some hard lessons from this and it may not all be easy and pleasant for her.... and it will be hard on you but it sounds like it is what needs to happen. [/QUOTE]
