[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 734343, member: 15801"] It is always a hard decision. A couple of the thoughts from my too many years of experience dealing with these issues. Think about what you need and is good for you and work from there. Kicking her out will not necessarily motivate her to get help. It might but it also might get worse before it gets better. Ultimatley she needs to get to s place where she wants help herself. It is hard to know what will do that. So think about your motivation in kicking her out. Do what is right for you. When my son was 18 he was flagrantly violating any rules we had and it was not good for me my husband or my 15 year old daughter. When we talked about it with him he threatened me and that is when we kicked him out. That was 8 years ago and it has been a rocky road since then. We have taken the stand we will help when be is helping himself and will not when he is not. Hes been in treatment several times and has also been on the street. He now seems to be working towards recovery himself but just had a relapse so who knows. I have no real answers except trust yourself and do what feels righ to you and what you can live with.
