[QUOTE="Bean, post: 399130, member: 8620"] Hello and welcome to the forum. Your "short version" says it all. At least to me, and probably to a group like this. I have a 19yo daughter. Kicked her out. She was caught stealing money from me. That, on top of all of the other things (disrespect, inability to follow house rules, using, etc.) - she was out. Period. I caught her, told her to give me back whatever she had, and she was out.[I] I can still see her walking down the street with her purse and cellphone. I can still hear the phone calls, What am I going to do? I hate you!!! I'm going to kill myself. This is a bunch of ****. [/I]-- I can hear it all. That was this summer. She has not been invited back to live here. It was really tough. When I saw her, she didn't look well. When I talked to her, I knew she was using. But when she was with us, she was using, stealing and worst of all - destroying the stability of the house (I have 4 other children, not to mention a marriage that I'd like to stay in). Don't feel guilty for taking care of yourself. Support your child when they are doing [i]healthy[/i] things. Just because they don't live there doesn't mean that they can't come for dinner, or a visit, but as an adult, they should be towing the line, being a productive member of the house - or out on their own, making their own rules. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
