[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 747480, member: 11235"] My experience with kicking my daughter out (with my infant granddaughter) and pulling financial support is different. She was 19 or 20 when I did this. She floundered for a few years, living on people's couches, getting fired repeatedly, etc. But when she finally got tired of it or matured or whatever happened with her she figured it out. She got housing assistance and has maintained her housing. She got a job she liked and has had it for nearly 5 years now. She got rid of a long term, on/off boyfriend who was pulling her down. Most recently she enrolled in community college and made the dean's list. I'm very proud of her, but I know the next stumble could happen in minutes. I don't know that kicking her out and not financially supporting her made the difference, but I do know it made my life easier by tenfold and helped me focus on myself and my own health and happiness and peace of mind. Yes, it was scary and difficult at first. But once I truly accepted that she is an adult and I cannot control (or really even influence) her decisions I got healthier and happier. [/QUOTE]
