[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 129958, member: 1157"] My "done" moment came when Oldest difficult child was about 19. I had "kicked her out' of the house weeks before, but she refused to leave. Calls to various agencies told me they couldn't do anything, I had to "formally" evict her. It seemed hopeless. One night she raged badly enough that she threw a chair at me. I called 911. Whey the police got there, she actually FOUGHT them... I remember them chasing her through the house and ending up with her on the floor of our utility room, handcuffed and screaming at them. County crisis was called. I begged them to admit her somewhere. She refused of course, and the old "she isn't an 'imminent' danger to herself or others" came into play. Finally, her boyfriend came and picked her up, and she moved in with him and his family for a few months. She did come back briefly, a few years later, to recover from a surgery. Things escalated within a couple of weeks and she left again. At least I didn't have to callthe police that time. Sometimes it takes a crisis to cause change. Isn't that a toughlove saying or something? Sigh. Now I'm in living hell with my youngest difficult child. I really need to compose a post about that. [/QUOTE]
