[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 532823, member: 5663"] The only way my mom got my sister out of the house was to move in with her boyfriend (now husband) and she sold her house. She wanted to do that anyway, but she kept the house for too long because she was enabling my sister and didn't want to see her on the street. My sister is an addict, has a husband addict, used after having kids, won't get a job, etc. They lived out of the car for a while, sort of used a storage unit during the day as a place to go to. Eventually got a free camper and stayed in a few campgrounds for the max amount she could stay. Eventually figured out how to get a house with some friends, while living off welfare, in a really yucky location. I suspect my sister is a difficult child, but has never been diagnosis'd with anything. No amount of threatening did squat to get her butt in gear and out of the house. Check those eviction laws and put down your foot as hard as it is. It'll break your heart to do so, but it's for their own good. I'd start with your daughter. Maybe your son would see that and figure out he's next. With the divorce and at least part time work, I'd probably give him a warning. [/QUOTE]
