[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 752782, member: 16024"] It sounds like you are between a rock and a hard place. You have a lot on your plate right now, and you don’t feel up to bringing a teen into your home that has a lot of issues (and could very well be a bad influence on your daughters). On the other hand, you feel cornered by your daughter and husband, who you feel will hate you if you don’t allow this girl to stay with you. I have a question—why does your husband feel so strongly about taking in this troubled teen that you feel he would leave the marriage if you don’t allow this to happen? Why would he be so quick to disregard your feelings and needs? I think you need to go to counseling with your husband, and probably family counseling as well, to find the answers to some of these questions. I feel very bad for you, mi. I agree that bringing this girl into your home for the next two years is way too much to handle. I wouldn’t do it under the circumstances you find yourself in. I hope you will stay and continue posting. It helps. [/QUOTE]
