[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 410292, member: 84"] Welcome to the board. I'm glad you found us. Wow. You've really got the cat by the tail. As I read your post it ran through my mind that this is exactly why we need long term care facilities available. I can certainly understand why you're wanting your daughter to leave your home and the hope to have some peace. I really do get the eviction thing. And I think it is probably a very good idea. But with the renting her a place......that brings up a whole new set of issues.....which I'm sure you've given some thought to. You might check with county mental health ect and see if there are some half way house type services that might actually help your daughter more since she can't maintain book A persona for very long at a shot. Most of these places offer supervision while still allowing residents to live independently. I know you said you had her diagnosed as a child ect, but is she in any sort of treatment now or is she against it? So lovely for the ex to make comments on your parenting. blech Like her opinion matters. And honestly dear, not one of us here are perfect. Not one. We all have made mistakes, will probably make more mistakes from time to time........our children don't come with a handbook. We're forced to wing it with whatever knowledge and experience we have and just do the best we can. While I'm all for offering an apology for a mistake....even to my kids.......I'm not sure what it is your husband thinks this is going to do for your child? Odds are pretty solid that those of her disorders that aren't genetic are due to her background before the adoption. Doubtful that your parenting skills are totally to blame, if at all. You obviously care for your child, you sought help when you saw there was a problem, and even now with as bad as her behavior is, although you want her out of your home you're still considering even renting a place for her. As an adult, unfortunately, you can't force her into treatment ect. Hoovers. But she has to decide to do that on her own. You can't force her to do squat........also hoovers, because at least when there kids you can pull the Because I Said So card. ugh Other parents have delt with this issue and I'm sure they'll be along to offer advice. I just wanted to offer you a warm welcome. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
