[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 246424, member: 3208"] I would absolutely not let the 18 yr old come to live with you. Give the 12 yr old a fighting chance. Let the 12 yr old know you will stand up for her and that she can come first with you. I am speaking from my own experience and wish I had stood up for my younger dtr sooner instead of trying to help and fix the older one so much. Now the younger one has issues she has to deal with due to both emotional and physical abuse from her older sister. It actually felt good to me when I finally decided my younger dtr had to come first and that I would protect her from her older sister. I kicked the older one out (she was 18) and told the younger one she would never live with us again. The older one is now 20 and has her life pretty much together as far as I know. I still would never live with her again though. The younger dtr is doing much better with a stable family situation and no drama from her sibling. They, in fact, talk on the phone and are able to have a pretty good relationship now. Just my 2 cents... Jane [/QUOTE]
