[QUOTE="Shari, post: 415377, member: 1848"] Ya know, when difficult child 1 got to this point, I checked in with the houses he was staying at. Some of them are people that I am good friends with; some I barely knew. I got the same story from all of them - he was kind, polite, he picked up after himself, joy to be around, etc. In other words, they didn't mind having him around. I didn't let him stay there for weeks on end, but frankly, if he was a decent human being, why torture myself to make him come home. He wasn't torturing them. (and, when the time came, I got to pay back a couple of those families with the kid they couldn't stand, who was a perfect gentleman in my home - so guess where he spent a lot of time) It takes a village.
