[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 405893, member: 59"] There are no easy answers. We kicked our 19 yo daughter out last week. She had no place to go either so after spending two days drinking at friends' houses she called and asked us to pick her up. She had gotten into a fight with her friend and she dumped her off about 10 miles away. We did pick her up but I still don't know if that was the right thing to do. She also goes to community college and also has a part time job, so if she is on the street she can't get to either. There is so much more to our story too, she has been in trouble with the courts and just had her case expunged. She also spent 60 days in rehab for alcohol but obviously she didn't stay sober. No one can tell you if you did the right thing. You have to listen to your gut and do what is best for your family. Our goal is to get her to be self sufficient so she can move out on her own. Then it's up to her what she does with her life. But that goal is getting harder and harder to reach. Does your son have a job? When our daughter came back home last week we told her she has to pay her tuition at the community college if she wants to continue going there. Fortunatley we put it on monthly payments so we didn't pay it up front. We decided we were through paying for things that she didn't take seriously. Nancy [/QUOTE]
