[QUOTE="Fran, post: 144186, member: 3"] Nomad, I walk along the same sort of path as you. One minute there seems to be a silver lining and then they shoot themselves in the foot. Just because she wants it doesn't mean you are all going to jump at helping her. If she makes a stupid move despite the advice she has gotten then you have to be clear that no one will bail her out. Remind her that she is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Heck even easy child's make stupid decisions at this age. Refuse to move furniture or even one suitcase of clothes. She will have to do it herself. Carrying a bed up and down steps doesn't seem like something she is inclined to do. She isn't going to be homeless. You won't let it happen. I won't let it happen to my difficult child. Unfortunately, the alternative is not appealing to me or not appealing to difficult child. What ever happens, it won't be the end of the world. Take a breath. Put difficult child on the back burner and do what work you have to do. Letting their schemes and shenanigans take up too much of your thinking power is crazy. I just try to shut the door on it unless I need to do something. Hang in there. I know that feeling of despair is easy to over take me too. [/QUOTE]
