[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this is a blessing!  I am so happy for you!
Do not let her back in, no matter what!
Rent the space out if you can.  [/quote]

This is OP. Yes, I am afraid she will have to come back WHEN things go south, because they will since she cannot take her meds properly. I don't think I will be strong enough to turn her down when that happens. Can I really rent out the space and say, "too bad" -- even though that's what I would prefer, given how things have gone?

I think one of the things that bothered me about how she moved out was the fact that she expected to be kept abreast of any little decision we made whether it had something to do with her or not ("you didn't tell me you were getting a new washing machine" "why didn't you tell me you were going out for coffee" "I want to know why you are choosing now to fix up your powder room") and yet she makes these plans and then leaves while we are away. And then she says something like, "sorry my presence didn't work out for YOU" or something mean like that.

It makes me sad that I hoped things would be different and they weren't, and yes I tried to stand my ground and have her play by our house rules since it is our house, and all of it ended up with her saying, "nope, if I can't play by my own rules and YOU can't play by my rules, I'm just going to go do what I want."

If she were totally healthy and able to care for herself I'd be thrilled with it but I have the feeling of impending doom because she isn't healthy and she won't take her meds right and she will probably end up in the hospital. [/quote]

Well, I mean, I get the feeling of impending doom.  But she's an adult, you know?  It's her prerogative to ruin her health if she wants to.  For now, just be grateful and enjoy your life until hers comes crashing down.[/quote]
