[QUOTE="Losing_Resilience, post: 183413, member: 3339"] "He listens or... he leaves. He's an adult the day he is responsible for himself in every way. That means he has his own place and he pays all of his own bills and doesn't come to you for anything. And if he doesn't like it or throws a fit...tough." I like the above quote, but would love advice on what to do if the 18-year-old then moves in with some friends of the same ilk, or some other unsatisfactory arrangement. I have a 17-year old daughter who keeps saying, "When I'm 18 I can do anything I want!" (Ironically, she got this catch phrase from the therapist, who unwisely said it one day!) Since she repeated 1st grade, she will be 18 next summer, just before she starts her senior year in high school. I need to figure out a plan now, so I can get it firmly in place - if possible - before next year. Any ideas, or what has worked for you? [/QUOTE]
