[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 681801, member: 18958"] I know the pain of this, Walrus. She is very, very young. I believe you have done the right thing, not permitting her to live with you if she will not meet your reasonable requirements, which really, are for her own good. Our situation was somewhat similar, except it took me longer to do the right thing. My son has a chronic illness which requires treatment. If my son does not have treatment, I fear he will die a premature and painful death. The hardest thing for me was to accept that I could not control whether he lived or died. I could not make him get treatment. Honestly, until about 6 months ago, I endured all manner of indignities to "get" my son to go to treatment. Every single heroic thing, he undermined. Finally, I accepted defeat. I believe this was a turning point. I cannot keep my child alive. I accepted this. I think you are incredibly brave doing the right thing for your child, knowing what is at stake, either way. I think by doing this hard thing, myself, insisting that the consequences be his, of his poor choices, is what may have made it possible for him to choose a little bit better. COPA [/QUOTE]
