[QUOTE="Bean, post: 365405, member: 8620"] Suziestar, I'm with you 100%. That's the whole grouseness of it. I totally KNOW and we're idiots. My husband and I went for a walk last night (pretty much the first time we were able to have some alone time since she's been here) and are pretty awed at our stupidity. Yesterday she stopped off here, changed and left. Said she'd be back (we were grilling out for Father's Day) and she didn't. It's such a 1-sided relationship right now. Even our 16 year old tells her he is disgusted with the way she uses off people. Our other children are unhappy with the yelling. There's no give, it's all take. My husband and I, on our walk, realized that it hasn't changed. We thought things were slightly improved over how it was before when she was here, but then we realized it was [B]us[/B] that had changed. Not her. We no longer chase after her at night like we used to. If she lies about coming home, tells us where she is, we no longer demand she comes home (like we used to). So we no longer have the same rules as we did. Part of it is because she is older, but with her not working, not contributing, stirring up issues, getting high, there's not good in what we've offered. We can't sacrifice the whole family for her. Anyway, we're going to talk with her today. [/QUOTE]
