When do you feel a child needs to leave the home? When is enough enough?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 280604, member: 1550"] Oh, I don't think it's the same either, at least in one way. If this had been a biological child or one we adopted at birth or very young, we would have kept in contact. It was easy to walk away after knowing him for only three years and with him not attached to us in any way. However, I would have sent my biological child or the kids we got at birth out of the house if they had sexually perped on the other kids. It's a matter of protecting the victims. I wouldn't have thought twice about it. It would have broken my heart that my child was that way, but I still would not have made my other kids feel fear in their own home. There are ways to parent from a distance and at different addresses. My question was how much is your limit before your child has to leave the home, not how long before you disown him. However, I'm very much in favor of the victim, not the perpetrator, even if it is my own child. The two children this child perped on were both adopted and, as far as I'm concerned, they are both as much mine as if I'd given birth to them. I have seen people with dangerous stepchildren who stay in spite of having their own kids who put up with their danger. I am sure I would not stay under those conditions. But everyone is different. There are no right and wrong answers--only difficult choices. [/QUOTE]
