[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 738593, member: 19522"] HI KSM, oh boy, what a story. All of it reminds me of the roller coaster ride we have been on with my two. Bad boyfriend choices, hanging out with people who seem to thrive on drama and chaos. It is a Jerry Springer world, for sure. One that you did all you possibly could to prevent. Ultimately, it is her choice, and she will do what she wants. Guard your heart and keep your eyes wide open. I am so sorry that she is dragging you into this mess. It was the same for us. Coming home to find strange cars in the driveway "friends" in the house. NOPE! Not having that! Stick to your guns and do not allow it! Your home is your sanctuary, not a "pit stop". That is how my two treated my home. A place to store their things, lay their head and sleep while we were working, feigning illness. It was a chance for them to act as if they were living in a hotel, partying all night. It was horrible, a train wreck and there was nothing we could do to stop it. The only thing was to lay down rules and when they broke them, make them leave. That meant all of their stuff, too. No excuses for coming over to our house unannounced, breaking in at times. That is not easy, because it felt like throwing them out, but realistically, having them home status quo was abandoning ourselves and the peace of our home. Hold tight to your husband. There is no reason or rhyme to their choices and the awful consequences. I am so sorry, I know how difficult this is. Try not to get sucked in to the whirlwind of it. You have a life to live, aside from all of this craziness. Sigh. Hang in their sweet lady. (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
