[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 586624, member: 14356"] Re - That is the worst fear of all of us hear, I'm guessing. Something I struggle with a lot. Dashcat - I think the way you phrased your concerns and your boundaries was excellent. You are telling her that she is violating the boundaries you set in place for you home and that is unacceptable to you. Without judgement of her and at the same time it's very clear. Well done. I'm glad that Ossy seems to be kind of getting on board with you in respect to some things lately. I certainly hope he does not enable her to continue with her behaviour if she has to leave your home and find somewhere else to live. This is such a difficult decision for you to make but you have to be concerned with your safety. You are so right to set those boundaries in place for yourself because her behaviour is incredibly risky and could be dangerous. This is one of our fears with difficult child as well. We don't know any of his 'friends' and they change frequently. husband is so afraid he is going to come to our home with some of these 'friends' to steal from us and catch myself home alone or husband's very elderly parents home alone. That could be a dangerous situation as well. I'm so sorry you're going through this. My thoughts and prayers that she gets home safe today and that the conversation you need to have gets through to her and she sees the need to make a change. I do like the idea of therapy and medication as a condition of her continuing to live with you. At least that way she'll be making healthy steps in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
