[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 598793, member: 1721"] What we tell ourselves is: if this works, it will all be worth it. And if this works for your daughter, you will be glad you did it. It will help to have a move out date you both agree on. Clarify with her, now, that you anticipate her being up and on her feet again, in her own apartment and pretty much financially independent, by Sept 1. You and husband could even plan a trip for that first week in September. Something like that would be a good and positive reminder to difficult child that this move home is only temporary. I think that known end-date will help with the anxiety you feel, too. We parents are put into such horrible positions by our difficult child children. No one who hasn't been through it could possibly understand what this feels like. As Recovering so often tells us, concentrate on your own and husband's health and happiness. Maybe plan a weekend away every so often, just the two of you. Barbara [/QUOTE]
