time for the talk then and tough love....pick a time for them to be out...and stick to it...its simple but not simple of course and it hurts. I know...been there ......I had al-anon which kept me strong, and I was able to after a while easily set boundries and easily adhere to them...once I did that the rules were set, and all went well......kids know now exactly what I will do or will not do...there is not even a question.

If you have a therapist this is an excellent thing to bring up and work on in therapy. You will need a lot of support yourself to get through this!!!

Thinking of you!

What do you mean, you seem to be a nobody to them? Like everybody is running wild? So this is why they have problems and had to move in with you to begin with? So how could you help them change the way they do things now, so they are easier to live with, and have a better chance of continued success. Can you do those house rule & chore charts like they had on the Nanny 911 shows? You may be outnumbered but you are still the boss.
Thanks for this!
