[QUOTE="cage11, post: 59889, member: 3898"] Oh my gosh! You sound just like me! I could have written your post. The exact same situation exists in our house. I am a social worker by training so am always trying to talk things out, be supportive, etc. My husband is the "do as I say" kinda guy - that is how he was raised. Here I am with an 18 year old daughter who is manipulative, lying all the time, wild and out all night (she does keep in touch with me). She is bipolar and oppositional with some ADD probably thrown in there. She has decided that now that she has graduated from high school (by the skin of her teeth) and is 18 she can do whatever she wants. Her friends scare me. My husband worries about our safety due to her anger issues. Yesterday I had it. I kicked her out. I can't believe I found the strength. Her psychiatrist told me it was about time and I have to do this in order to help her become a responsible adult. I'm trying to stay firm and not let her back in unless she shows reponsibility. But, it hurts so much! I cried all night. Now what? I guess I just wait and see... [/QUOTE]
