[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 595817, member: 1721"] Can you look at it like an experiment, JKF? Can you look at it as maybe the one thing you haven't tried yet, the one thing that might make a difference? On the other hand, we all know what we need to do where our difficult children are concerned and yet, we go against those hard-won understandings to do what is also the right thing. Really, there is no right and wrong way to do any of this. We swore we would not pay for a hotel room for difficult child this winter. She called (and called) before, and during, a terrible snow storm. The second she wore us down on one night, she wanted two. So, we hung up and turned the phone off. By the next morning, husband and I felt so downright awful that we decided to rent something for difficult child for the three weeks until we got back. And learned she (and her equally homeless buddies) had been evicted and blacklisted from two of the sleaziest hotel/motels in that city! So that took care of that. difficult child and her pals spent the storm in an abandoned house. But can you imagine what it would have cost us had we rented them a room somewhere decent and then, she and her friends had destroyed it?!? I know how you feel. I do. Maybe you could rent him a room at the Y? B. [/QUOTE]
