    Family is important BUT so is self-respect & standing on your own 2 feet. Give them a date by which they have to move out & support them in the process, but make it clear that it is time for them to live their own life & forge their own way in life. I kicked my 2 sons out, we discussed why (lack of participation in the home) & now they live on their own, pay their own way ... they finally got it but U have to push them. The greatest gift we can give our children is for them to know self-respect & autonomy. Take the bull by the horns & do what's best for yourself & your children. Kick them out! YOu go girl!!!
