[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 604495, member: 1550"] Sounds sadly familiar. I recommend you post this on Parent Emeritus where we post about our adult children who are giving us grief. This forum is for minor children and that's different. We have other choices about what to do about our grown adult kids, especially detaching, which is critical. We are no longer legally forced to house, cloth them, pay for their toys, allow them to use our car, etc. You may want to give us a brief history. You have to remember that you are under no obligation to allow your girls the privileged of living with you, no matter what. You may want to take in an Al-Anon or Nar-Anon meeting to learn more about detachment from people who understand. But post over at Parent Emeritus. Many of us can share very similar stories and how we have handled it. I would have called the police right away. I called the police on the daughter when she was fifteen for using drugs...I felt it was a way of helping her rather than enabling her. It took a long time, but she quit using drugs, but while she did, she stole from us regularly. They go together. Welcome to our corner of the world, but so sorry you have to be here. [/QUOTE]
