Now that I kicked my 18 year old daughter out, where do I go from here?

[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709526, member: 18958"] How old a person is he? Honestly, it is sounding now like she is driving this car, not him. What in the world Is she looking for? Do you think she may be pregnant? What other reason could there be? She sounds embarrassed by him, to be leading him by the nose, not so much afraid of him. So much of what she says makes HIM responsible for misdeeds of which she was a part. This, all of it, will come out in the wash. I hope sooner rather than later. You are doing a good job basically rooting yourself in the earth while she spins around...tiring herself out. She will soon reveal what it is, what she needs, what she seeks, what she runs from and why. Right now is time to strengthen yourself. Easier said than done. I am aground with fear and pain and worry about my own son, I do not have a clue of what to do. We have tried every single thing we can think of. He is ill with a life-threatening illness--and I am afraid that if I get tough with him again--he will leave where he is staying (I own the place) and he will stop taking the medication he just resumed. He went off of it for 6 years--he needs it. And just resumed, because we have been pressuring him to do constructive things for himself. I know he is placating me; that he is not motivated by self-care or maturity. Barring external pressure and the desire to keep coming what he wants from me, he will cease to comply. Once I do not comply his medication compliance will stop. I believe he is angling for us to stop the pressure on him to do anything constructive, stop pressuring him to pay rent, and stop pressuring to stop with the marijuana. He does not want to pay rent because it interferes with his most coveted goal, his marijuana. I am lost, about what to do. You are doing so well. I admire you. You have grown so much in such a short time. [/QUOTE]
