[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 337700, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I have to say, K, that my psychiatrist has always recommended against this - a parent cannot disrupt their entire life because a difficult child is struggling. Rather, as a life skill a difficult child must learn to deal in the world he is in. The reality is that if difficult child hasn't learned how to cope, the problem will follow to the next neighborhood & the one after that. Your job is to supply a roof over his head - you have time & money into the home you're in & in this market I wouldn't try to sell a house if I didn't my hand wasn't forced. difficult child is not that far from 18 when he can move himself. It's now time to start planning for you. difficult child knows (doesn't maybe use but knows) the skills needed to do what is necessary - be it in school, in the community, etc. Now he has to put in practice what he's learned. He also knows right from wrong (or that is my understanding). Just my humble 2 cents on the subject. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
