[QUOTE="Suz, post: 176670, member: 29"] I agree with what's been said and suggested. A guidebook to living together is probably a must since our difficult children don't usually understand the niceties without having them spelled out. It would be ideal to have them ironed out before she arrived to make sure you can both live with what's expected. A "move out goal date" is imperative for both of you. It gives her a goal and you the ability to have a countdown if things get tough :wink: . It can be a reasonable date, depending upon when her services will kick in and if she is tolerable to live with. I think the biggest challenge I'd have if Rob ever moved back in :faint: is falling back into old patterns. It's sooooooooo easy for them to regress around Mom and Dad and so easy for us to rediscover those old responses we had when they were at their worst. Good luck! Suz [/QUOTE]
