[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 324181, member: 3450"] I am really having a hard time understanding why you are allowing her to come stay with you. I have a difficult child dtr who is 21 whom I kicked out of my house at age 18 and will never allow to live with me again. I love her dearly but I had to set the boundaries. And you know what? When I quit letting her walk all over me she treated me a whole lot better. We have a good relationship now but she lives on the opposite side of the country from me so that helps. Even when she was in the same town, however, I had to be vigilant in keeping my boundaries intact. I don't see any way for this to work--and the sad thing is that her family enabling her is not helping her in any way, only making everything worse. I know with my difficult child the more I helped her the more helpless she became. I don't mean to sound harsh, I just really feel frustrated for you! Jane [/QUOTE]
