[QUOTE="1905, post: 49071, member: 2668"] My difficult child was kicked out. He was lazy, would rather steal than work, and had no goals in life. "Why should I?" was the answer to-Get a job! He was a violent person. When he left and had nowhere to go, he (with the help of my brother in law) got a rooming house room(yuk), then a job, and now he has a nice car, apt., but....some kids can only learn how to be independant by being thrown out of their comfortable living situation because nothing else will motivate them. It sounds like your daughter is completely comfortable in your home living like that. She won't change, but you can help her. Let her not have anywhere to go, and see firsthand, learn by doing, to find her way. Having nothing will motivate her. Plus, your quality of life will be lots better. Hers will too. Not right away. But it will. I agree with Janet and have a story of my own. -Alyssa [/QUOTE]
