[QUOTE="Bean, post: 378716, member: 8620"] To be quite honest, they didn't really react, except middle child, who seems to have had the hardest time with it. He said she needed to leave and says we're too easy on her. I'm honestly not sure. I had a vague idea of how much was in there before, but not to the dime. She claims it did. She came back today to get some of her clothes and to take a quick shower. My husband made her a sandwich. As much "suffering" as she was claiming on the phone, she arrived in a shirt I've never seen her wear with a purse that I've never seen her with. She made some sloppy comment about where she got them from, and carried a chip on her shoulder the entire time she was here. If there's any remorse for what she did (beyond regret for losing her housing), I didn't see it. She left without taking her clothing, too, which is disturbing because it means she will be calling, badgering for it once again. At this point, though, she really doesn't have any concrete place to put them or take them, so I might allow her to keep some of her stuff here. I just don't know. I'm at the point now where I don't know how much to provide, and to not provide. She says she has something lined up for 3 weeks from now, but is at a loss for what to do until then. Again, I really don't know how much of that is true, and how much is not. She's been very resourceful in the past. I told her to do 2 nights on the couch of every friend she has, if she needs to. I don't know what to offer beyond that suggestion (and social service options - most of which she's claimed to have tried and been denied). She's stolen and broke into my parent's home and there's no way she'd be allowed at my brothers. None of it feels normal or good to me, beyond having a more stable home here. Kicking my own kid out has gotten me a little weepy and dragged the past day. I realize I've lived in a somewhat skewed reality the past few months. I need to work on "coming down" from that and undoing what it has done. I think the boys will all be very much OK with it. They've been fed up for a while. [/QUOTE]
