[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 60860, member: 84"] Welcome to the board Skylark! Once upon a time I thought life with grown difficult child's would be a breeze. (they wouldn't be living under my roof) Then my difficult children grew up and I had to face reality. It's rough at times to see your child asserting their independence when they're not making the right choices. I mean you can't really just shut off the protective mother mode. It's a process. Like BBK said.... detachment. Unfortunately once a child is over 18 there isn't a whole lot you can do. They have to want to make the right choices and be willing to listen. I wonder..... if there is a housing shortage where you are if difficult child will eventually come to realize it on her own? Natural consequences can be the best teacher. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
