[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 238802"] I really like what CJ has said. Ground rules would have to be established. I would not support a boyfriend and would make that clear up front. I would encourage her to see a physician and therapist if she were to return home and be willing to pay for this type of help. If she has any drug or alcohol problems, she would have to go to NA or AA. If she is unable to follow the rules, you would need to be prepared emotionally to have her move to another location. In addition, you would to get your own personal support either through your own therapist or perhaps through a group like Families Anonymous. I would be willing to give your child a little extra help until the maximum of age of 21. However, she should follow your rules and meet you half way. She should be willing to work and contribute to the home if she is living there. Even if it is minimal; something should be contributed. She should do whatever she is able to personally do whenever and wherever possible. I would hope for the best, but understand that it might not go the way you wish. Continue to offer her opportunities for mental health care. Be prepared to detach, if needed. [/QUOTE]
