[QUOTE="Suz, post: 356423, member: 29"] Please encourage husband not to make empty threats, especially since you two later decided not to pursue it. She won't learn to believe what you say if threats are made and not carried out. I really think you need to take a break from each other. If anything is left in her room that you consider to be hers, pack it in garbage bags and offer to leave them on your front stoop at a certain time for her to pick up. If they aren't picked up at that time you can put them in your attic to rot (lol) until she makes an appointment to come pick them up again at a time that is convenient for you, not her. If she does that and has an appointment to come pick them up, I would hand her the bag, even help her load them in her car but I would not give her run of the house. difficult child has obviously not learned that, [B]as an adult living at home is a privilege not a right[/B]. After your Al-Anon meeting, go buy some decorating magazines and decide how you will convert difficult child's bedroom. Do you need a craft room? Den? Media room? ;) Suz [/QUOTE]
