[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 422412, member: 2322"] Reality check time: she could check herself out of an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) at age 18. You weren't controlling what she was doing when she was "living" at home. She managed to find herself a place to live so she is not out on the street. Instead of trying to control a kid you can't control, you have detached from the whole power struggle and let her find her way because that's what she wants and she is old enough to strike out on her own (at least in a few weeks). You can't control the other mother. You can't control her. Period. Yes, it hurts terribly to have them out of the house. Even when they are safe in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or psychiatric hospital. If you haven't already you might want to look at the posts in the PE forum. I gain so much wisdom from the really brave parents there. [/QUOTE]
