[QUOTE="witzend, post: 633193, member: 99"] It is time for her to start her adult life, and for you to restart yours. I'm guessing that she wasn't planning to spend her entire life in your home? I would do what I could to get her references to programs that will help her, and encourage her to apply for anything that she can to get her own place. Give her a date and if she can't get out by then I would be flexible if [I]and only if[/I] her answer was "I have a place Tuesday instead of Sunday, can we work with that?" I'd even help with moving expenses and furniture if she is making a true effort. on the other hand, if her answer is "I can't find anything" I would reiterate the date suggest that she find a friend who has a place on a sofa for her. She won't be the first 20 year old in the world to be asked to leave their parent's home. It's not the end of your relationship with her as her mother, it's the beginning of your relationship with her as an adult. [/QUOTE]
