[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 619401, member: 14865"] Hi there, I'm dealing with a difficult 20-year-old also. You can read my thread about my 20-year-old difficult child trying to move back home. You might want to read it; it might make you feel better knowing yet another someone is having to turn away their child. It is so hard, but I can tell you that mentally I had no alternative but to do it.
