Kill Me Now

It's tough situation. You want to do the right thing and help this kid, but you also have to take care of yourself and of the rest of the family.

I suspect that your husband is right, and she would be better behaved if she lived with you, but it's still a gamble. And you are the one making the biggest sacrifice in the meantime. A year and a half until graduation. Could you hold out that long? At graduation, is she definitely going to college? Would she wind up trying to continue living at home with you?

Can you even swing two more kids financially? Do you have the space?
