[QUOTE="AliceLee, post: 8588, member: 3104"] Hi all---haven't posted in a while. Had a WONDERFUL Christmas! [img]:laugh:[/img] However, difficult child and her boyfriend were on again, off again all through the holidays. You may remember that he got quite abusive with her. She has anger issues, too, so it was quite a volatile situation. To make a long story short, she got sick of supporting him (he has not worked other than some odd jobs given to him by my husband and my brother for 4 months) and coming home to find him drunk with an apartment full of his friends each night. She has been showing much improvement in her work ethic and attitude so we invited her to move back home. So she is back, along with a 4 month old puppy. Our plan is to give her a few days to decompress, then sit her down with a few house rules. In the past, she has been very defensive when we've tried to do this with her. Typically she gets angry and storms off. Any ideas on how to do this without the same result as in the past? I am stressed out over her return, but I love her and am trying to think positively. Thanks--- [/QUOTE]
