[QUOTE="compassion, post: 395668, member: 6393"] Yes, you are doing great with boundaries!!! That is my experience: boundaries, boundaries, boundaries. My difficult child is 17 and has not really lived at home since age 15. I am very clear about boundaires. The reality is I have to watch her like a hawk. It is stressful. During the holidays, they(her boyfriend, herself and 20 year old brother) are invited over for 1.5 hours on Christmas Eve at a speicific time and on New Yeaq's Day. I have foud that 1.5 hours is about all that works . I have to hae it very strucutrued. I have lowered my expectatations a lot. Acceptance helps a lot. She has low and high functioning times and i TRY TO BE RALISTC AND ESPICALLY ENJOY THe higher funcitoning times. T-docs have helped me to treat her like the woman of ht world she trys to be when actually she acts a lot like a middle school girl. I also do not trust her but try to be as postive as possible but put number one focus on protecting me and the quiet of our home. [/QUOTE]
