[QUOTE="Bean, post: 407388, member: 8620"] Wow. Lots of moms with kicked-out kids. Count me in. Count me in on a daughter with a pre-teen mentality in an adult woman's body. Yup, it sucks to kick them out, sucks to have them out making foolish choices on their own. Sucks to be frightened, concerned, worrying about them. Sucks that they can't just WAKE UP and take a less tangled path. It all sucks. Guess that's my operative word for today. But then, for me, what doesn't suck? The attention I can give to the rest of my family. The peace in the home. Not worrying about finding a hiding spot for my purse (and anything else I value) constantly. I wish I knew how or why the worries and frustrations naturally seem to overshadow the other, more positive things. But, I guess when your kid is in pain, it's just flat out hard to let go and look away. It's unnatural, and we're training ourselves to do something that just doesn't come naturally. I often wonder why it seems easier (to my daughter) to spend so much time working everyone around her, rather than working a job. Wouldn't she rather the security? But, for her it's the addiction and mental health issues (and choices) she's making. She's choosing that right now. Does your daughter use at all? I didn't catch that. [/QUOTE]
