[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 604331"] I am so sorry. First off, I'm not exactly how to do it, but you can go to the main page, first thread called Site Resource and see if you can change your name (if that is your real name or mostly your real name). Perhaps use a nick name, fake name or take the last part off.... You can always contact Runaway Bunny the site owner and have her do this for you. You should be able to find her at that Site Resources area. Sounds like you are doing many of the right things. It is just HARD HARD HARD. Don't fool yourself. If she wont go to therapy or takes it as a joke, you can go by yourself to get the strength you need. Also, there are resources like Families Anonymous that are very helpful and folks there might know about temporary housing. We have a 1 800 HELP LINE in my area and I have called it before to find out where the shelters are just in case we had to send our difficult child to one of those. You should not have to put up with violence. Period. If she is violent toward you or someone else in the home, go ahead and call the police. First of all, that is the logical consequence to such horrible behavior. You might also take an officer aside and get info. about shelters and also if you can legally remove her from the home. In some states, you have to give her legal notice (don't EVER tell her this!!!!). But if you have a record of her being violent toward you, I suspect that you wont have to worry about it. I think all of us here have had that "sick to our stomach" feelings. It is unfair, unfathomable, unreal and unthinkable to have to kick your adult child out of your home. But ground rules need to be set up, very clear and adhered to. You have to survive this and you have no choice in setting and keeping boundaries, because if you don't, it will only make her and things worse. Sending good thoughts for comfort and strength. Get that counseling if you can afford and feel you need it!!!! [/QUOTE]
