[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 40176, member: 3353"] Wishing everyone well at your house, Robyn. I'm glad he came home. You never know ~ this may be the time it will take. Are you planning ahead for a worst case scenario? (For instance, have you made your expectations and consequences clear?) That used to help us to know when it wasn't working. You would think the misery would have done it. But by the time everything would devolve to that point, husband and I would be so triangulated that we could never come up with a workable plan or set of consequences. We always wound up paying for everything for difficult child to move away. And that happened to us more than once. So that's why I think you should try to determine your limits and expectations now. Make your expectations clear to difficult child ~ along with where he is going to live next, if he continues to make the rest of you miserable. We still wound up paying for things the last time difficult child moved out? But we did so much better. Barbara [/QUOTE]
