[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 656880, member: 1550"] I believe that she has the power to break up with the abusive boyfriend. She is probably with him enough for him to beat her up anyway, even if she lives at home. It is the responsibility of any adult who is nearing thirty to take care of his own affairs. Things can get worse even while they live with you. It's not like they aren't getting into trouble. They are still on the streets, doing what they do. The difference is, the only difference, is that WE are dragged into their drug life and put ourselves at risk. Who is to say this druggie boyfriend who probably visits the house won't come in and get aggressive with the daughter or the poster? I would offer her a rehab and if she refuses to go, I'd pack her bags. After that, it is her decision which way to turn. Many of our adult kids HAVE done better once out of the house. And we have peace while they no longer live with us, causing us extreme distress and possibly even health issues. I support anything a parent decides to do. But I do think I see a pattern of some solutions working better than others and I don't think home at almost 30 is a good thing. What were you doing at 27? On the other hand, I can see how the first son is influencing the poster to hang on, although there really is nothing she can do to help her daughter and there is nothing written in stone saying her son will never change for the better.
