[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 649339, member: 17244"] Great words of wisdom! I actually did retire about a month ago. We have taken a week long trip since then and it was great. Before we knew Difficult Child was pregnant we went to Mexico for a month (she wasn't living with us then). We had a fantastic time, traveled to different parts of Mexico, took cooking and language classes together, wife took art classes. There were even some problems - I got sick, got pick pocketed on the Metro in Mexico City - but we were together having an adventure and that made it fantastic! I hear you on the money - when she was 18 she was doing well, going to CC, on the track team - then she met loser #1 and she was like a different person. That's when drugging and drinking started, stealing from us, moved in with loser (actually loser's mom's house - a common theme with all her losers is that they live with their moms). Anyhow, we have wasted a lot of time and money on lawyers etc trying to rescue her and that's not happening any more and we've made that very clear. I love the Pirate Bathroom! We need to discuss move out date. The man cave came about because I needed a sane space, but was also a preemptive move to keep son's old bedroom from becoming Z's room. Right now Difficult Child and Z are together in her old room, and that's all the space she's getting. If she wants more she can get a job and an apartment. Continuing her adolescence into her twenties is costing wife and I what should be our time. Posting on here is a great way to reflect on the situation and get new insights. I never saw it that clearly before. Continuing her adolescence into her twenties is costing wife and I what should be our time. And us letting her do it isn't doing her any favors either. [/QUOTE]
