[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 641854, member: 1550"] He probably won't feel guilty and bringing up anything won't change what he does.You can't force him to keep her no matter what he texted. Do you really think he will feel guilty if he throws her out? He doesn't sound like the type. Nor does he sound like somebody who will keep her no matter what you do if he doesn't want to. Why engage him? In the end, if he does throw her out, it is on you whether you want to take her back. She is old enough to make it on her own. Many eighteen year olds do. You really are putting yourself in danger if you do take her back, but it is up to you. There is nobody who can guarantee difficult child a home with her behaviors, including your brother, who I realize is an a***hole. But he hasn't lived with her and may decide it's not worth it. You have to be prepared that all the guilting in the world won't make him live in an uncomfortable situation. He seems to value himself too much to put up with too much garbage that interferes with his comfort, and your difficult child can be a royal handful. They all can. Nobody knows what they are getting into, no matter what they say, until difficult child is in their home. And often they get thrown out. It's up to your daughter to change her life. [/QUOTE]
