[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 372776"] Good point about the other kids, I totally agree and definitely agree about letting them use you as an excuse. In our house my easy child daughter in some ways is the toughest one at least in talk. When my son came back from the TBS she is the one that didn't believe he had changed. She is absolutely and totally disgusted by him as well as embarrassed by his reputation. BUT it is hard for her to stand up to him too. FWIW i did not figure put about giving up control all on my own. I have been seeing a therapist for quite a while on this very issue, how to let go. For me that has been a lot about giving up control. I don't know if we would have gotten to the point of kicking my son out if I hadn't been going to therapy. It is becoming very clear to me that kicking him out was the right thing to do. [/QUOTE]
