[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 478219"] KLMNO, you suggested it - you meant well. It's not for her. She tried it. Maybe she will try it again. Maybe she will try counseling. She turned off her phone during the day. She went HOME to HER HOUSE [B]AFTER WORK.[/B] She CLAIMED HER HOME AS HER OWN; she called the police, she MADE her difficult child leave, she's changing the garage code, and she has repeatedly told her difficult child that COMING HOME IS NOT AN OPTION despite the heavy pressure she has gotten otherwise from her daughter and the judgmental officer on the scene. For crying out loud - she didn't bring her into the house, give her a warm bath, scotch and cookies and put her to bed. Shes isn't being sucked into it as much as it is literally on her doorstep. Short of moving away - I don't know what more she could do. And moving away certainly is putting her difficult child in control. I applaud her detachment thus far. I don't know if I could do it. And if I could muster the courage, I would be a basket case afterwards. I certainly wouldn't have the composure to reach out here and look into counseling and ask for helpful suggestions. [/QUOTE]
