[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 266760"] in my humble opinion, if woud be really helpful if your daughter attended at least a few sessions of family/group counseling with you and your spouse...possibly with- your son as well. If I recall, she was living a productive life...school...other responsibilities. True? This is vitally important at her age. If she is behaving in a co-dependent manner...there are great books you can buy her on that subject. There are also CODA mtgs. Does she have her own therapist? She is at a crucial...scary age. As a side note...if she has had a "taste" of freedom...chances are sky high, she will not want to give that up by moving back at home. If you combine this with- difficult child "stuff," that might go "double." If you are not forcing the issue for her to come home...this sounds like a good plan. Since she is younger than 18 and you are likely footing many bills, it would be reasonable for you to have certain expectations though. Soon, you will really have to pull away in a major way. And honestly, you can't really control anyone. At 18, your influence, is very limited. And after that, we all hope our adult children are motivated to make good choices and that our influence will not be a major issue. [/QUOTE]
