[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 199231, member: 831"] I think it's very positive that easy child came to you and he understands that it's going to be difficult extracting himself from difficult child and boyfriend. He sounds level-headed. easy child needs to keep everything on the down-low. Not a word until perhaps he has his important posessions out. Then, when he has to, break it to difficult child. Don't explain and don't argue. Just go. Be prepared for lots of drama, but to stand firm because it will eventually pass. I remember my sister, years ago, sharing an apartment with a very manipulative difficult child friend she hadn't known very long (this was in my sister's difficult child days). After a few weeks, when some of my sisters things started coming up missing, she decided to find somewhere else to live. She knew the friend was going to blow up when she found out. She kept it quiet as long as she could and got her really important things out. When friend found out, she locked my sister out and had the locks changed while my sister was at work (sister wasn't on rental agreement). My sister actually remembered a window that was kept unlocked. When friend wasn't home, she climbed through and got the rest of her stuff. When difficult child friend discovered that, SHE called the police and reported that my sister broke in and took HER stuff. Friend began to call MY house looking for my sister and making threats of physical harm. I let her know if she called my home again, or god forbid actually showed up, I would do whatever it took to protect my children and she could take that anyway she wanted. But, be prepared, because I meant it. Anyway, my sister gets a call at work from the police. They want her to come down to the station for questioning regarding the "break-in". My sister, in a risky but clever move, told the officer calling that if he wanted to talk with her he would just have to come and get her (arrest). She never heard anything from the difficult child friend, or the police again. [/QUOTE]
