[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 357603, member: 1550"] Hi there. Sorry you had to join our board, but, at the same time, welcome! Frankly, if she won't work or go to school and threatens to burn down your house, I wouldn't let her live at home even if I feared for her safety. I'd feel she will never grow up unless she had to fend for herself. Also, her threats are serious and scary. Is she using drugs? Does she hit you? I'd think seriously about both detaching and giving her a date to pack her bags. And I'd never ever do things for her that she can do herself. No money. No laundry. No changing bed linens or letting her use the car. No paying for the cell phone. Nothing. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I know first hand difficult child's are not easy when they are the verge of "adulthood." [/QUOTE]
