[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 591985, member: 14356"] Dash - Oh do I know how you feel right now. Asking our difficult child (16 at the time) to leave was the hardest thing I've ever done. It was also the most surreal. I couldn't believe I had done it, couldn't believe I'd had to do it, couldn't believe he forced our hand so we had no choice. It was so awful. And when he ended up homeless in December, sometimes staying in a shelter and sometimes staying in an ATM vestibule I just about caved in. I kind of did, really. I told difficult child that if he felt he could follow our rules he could move back home. He just smiled and said he liked the ATM vestibule - it had a great heater and he was toasty warm. Sigh. That is difficult child thinking. RE is right - your difficult child will probably be much like the rest of ours - she'll land on her feet despite making more than one bad decision. And RE is right about there always being someone willing to hear their sob story and rescue them. difficult child is on home #3 since November. Well, I guess it's #2 because the people that kicked him out in December have now taken him back in after he got kicked out of his second place - so he's bouncing around. Hang in there - this strange situation will get easier for you to handle as time goes on. Hugs [/QUOTE]
