[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 410721, member: 84"] Robin, once you allowed difficult child in your home the RO is null and void. It has to be followed by [B]both[/B] parties to remain in effect. This little tidbit of info they tend to leave out when you go to get one. There is no point in having an agreement if you don't force him to stick to it. Eliza hit the nail on the head. Give a difficult child an inch.......they'll run with it as far as you let them. The hardest thing to do as the parent of an adult child is to switch your thinking from I need to take care of and fix stuff for this person.......to this is an adult who needs to learn to make his own decisions, the right decisions, and I can no longer take care of him or fix it for him. Most of us walk a tight wire of how much help is too much and have to decide for ourselves what we're willing to do and not do, what behaviors we will and will not tolerate with our grown kids. Because while they may still be immature ect.......society says their adults and we have no say so in what they do. hugs [/QUOTE]
