[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 129952, member: 1550"] I wouldn't want to put out a young adult who has no skills to survive on his own. I'd have called social services for help looking for a group home or residential help. However, if everyone turned me down, I truly don't KNOW what I'd do! I did make my daughter leave. The final straw was that she'd promised she'd quit drugs and seemed better. We took our two younger kids to a nearby waterpark hotel for two nights, but came home one day early. She and her friends were having an all-out dope party at the house. We did give her the option of going to rehab first, but she turned it down. I remember being very angry, but I did tell her that she could only come back if she really quit and would subject herself to drug tests. The last thing she said to me before leaving, with tears, was, "I'll HATE YOU forever!" I cried for three weeks, but we have reconciled and are now extremely close. She never needed to come home--she made it on her own. If she wants or needs to come home now for any reason (she's 23 and clean three years now) we would welcome her back. She went from the worst example for her siblings to a shining example of somebody who has quit everything from drugs to cigarettes. We have a rule here: "If you do illegal things, you can't live here." [/QUOTE]
