[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 238825, member: 84"] Welcome Rhonda. :) Whew. I have to say up front, one Mom to another, you have to do what you can live with peacefully. If bringing her there for one more chance, knowing that it could be just as bad, if not worse than you've already been though, is something you need to do to have piece of mind........Then I'm not the person who will tell you not to. I will tell you to sit down and really think it over before doing it. All the pros and especially the cons. Force yourself to be realistic about the situation. Set ground rules you know you can follow thru with. And then plan for the worst while hoping and praying for the best. If it were my child........Wow. No. Probably not. One because not a single "I'm sorry" has passed her lips, not even one that isn't genuine. Big red flag that someone is most likely not going to change. And 2 most definately not the boyfriend. He is not your child and you have no responsibility for him what so ever. You don't need 2 difficult children for the price of one. OMG:knockedout: Double trouble. You can't fix her issues. She has to want it and be willing to do the work to make that happen. You can't even help her until she's ready to help herself. Which is why it has to be a decision YOU can live with, either way you decide to jump. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
