[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 618566, member: 17461"] Good for you! The only thing I would change is the part about being 19 and old enough to be on her own. I have the strong feeling that if this 19 year old were behaving decently (which she absolutely is not) you would happily have her home until she was through school or whatever. That seems like nitpicking, I know. But there is nothing normal about a difficult child. If there are any vulnerabilities in your thinking, she will find and use them to get what she wants from you. You are not telling her to leave because she is 19. You are telling her to leave because she has decided to live an addict's lifestyle, and you refuse to have it in your home or anywhere near yourself or your other children. You are right. She is wrong. This whole thing is wrong, and should never have happened. Not to her, and not to you. But it is happening. You are doing the right thing. Cedar [/QUOTE]
