[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 649350, member: 17269"] That is right, done dad. You are not doing her any favors either. If all your help actually helped her grow up and take control of her life...she would be grown by now. For every yes there is a no. When say yes to her, you say no to your own choices. Its fine to help out for a bit in crisis...but yes, you need to have the move out planning talk, in the most loving manner. Followed by the move out date. Followed by sticking to the moveout date. Good luck. I didn't have to do this part...my son left on his own, at 17. We actually tried the reverse...to get him to come back! and later, when he did come back for short stays, we realized we can't actually have him in the house any more, so although we sometimes refused to let him come home when he wanted to, we were never in the position of making him leave. Many others on the board have done that, though, and you will find support and guidance for that phase too, should you choose to go there. Echo [/QUOTE]
