[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 49124, member: 3647"] Meowbunny, Don't you see, she already IS surviving on her own. Maybe not to your specifications, but she is doing it. You can't MAKE her get a GED or join the job corps. If you couldn't make her keep her room clean before, what would make you think that if you let her return home, she would suddenly possess the skills to keep it clean this time? If you let her come home, because "well, she's not on drugs, and she's not violent anymore...and she ONLY steals what she needs..." seriously, at what point would you consider her "mature" enough to enter the world as an adult? You are making excuses as to why it is OK for her to come home. Remember, she still has your stuff, and trashed YOUR CAR!! GOD (the Almighty) Grant ME (that's you) the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (difficult child and how she lives her life) the COURAGE to change the things I can (how YOU respond to how difficult child acts) and the WISDOM to know the difference (there is a difference. You can only control YOU. You cannot control HER.) [/QUOTE]
