[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 667904, member: 1550"] You know what I'm going to say...there is nothing you can do to control your daughter or how much she drinks, but you don't have to pay for college or let her drink and live at home. You did this for your son and it just doesn't work, especially for YOU and YOU matter. It is telling that she doesn't want boyfriend arrested if he pushed her. There is no excuse for pushing anybody. He had the option of leaving the house. Or wherever he was. If she followed him or shoved him, HE could have called the police. He chose to push her. They both made a horrible decision to get very drunk, and your daughter knows that addiction runs in the family. How are her college grades? Can she finish college at home, at another school? For many kids college seems to mean partying and drinking and no boundaries on behavior. You've already done this forever with your son. It is up to you if you have the energy to do it again with your daughter. Maybe you'd rather spend your days rekindling romance with hubby ;) We are responsible for our children's behavior until they become adults. After that, it is up to them. The only thing you can do is to stop the money train and the offer of a free bed and food at home unless YOUR rules are followed. It's your house/your rules. I am sorry you have to go through this after all you have gone through with your son and I truly wish I could give you a real life hug. I can't so here is a cyber-hug. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
