[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 629966, member: 17635"] BG, I feel your pain. If my difficult child's exgf's mom had helped him out likewise, I probably would have been relieved. Screwy thinking, i know. When our difficult child was about 17, his best friend's parents took him in. The mom told me that one of her daughters had told her some things (relayed to her by our difficult child) that made her think difficult child was not best off in our home. Very, very judgmental without giving specifics--based on difficult child's accounts! We worked for the same school district. But, i said very little to "defend" ourselves, because I knew she wouldn't get it. My respect for her went way down and has never come back. Within three weeks, they had kicked him out for lying to them. She never came to me to say anything along the lines of "Oh.....nowww, i get it. So sorry i judged you." And difficult child moved back in. I remember saying to him on the phone, [I]Not until we have a talk about rules. [/I]When he walked in that evening, his comment? [B][I]This house stinks. [/I][/B]Wish we had never let him back in that evening, but he was 17... [I][B][/B][/I] It never got better until he moved out. Now, he can never come back. It is a sad scenario, but our lives got better. [/QUOTE]
