She's ready to move on

[Michael Mc C]

Looking for some advice now. She is ready to move out because eventually she'll be moving on (dating). At this point I feel her moving out would be a good idea for multiple reasons.

1) I wouldn't have the constant interaction with her and will more easily detach
2) It will help her see the reality and possible consequences of her actions
3) She is working, her classes start back up on 1/22, she'll be living 15 minutes away from "home" (opposite direction of her school and work). She won't see the kids, her pets, home or me nearly as often as she thinks. Okay, the "me" part doesn't bother her, I'm sure
4) She'll be living in a very unhealthy (smoke-filled, unkept) environment
5) My kids and I can begin to move forward without her. The reality of this sucks but with her here she is too much a part of our lives for us to deal appropriately with what is happening.
6) There will be less of a financial burden. Her cell phone bill, credit card, car insurance, cigarettes, wine, etc. are all being paid by me (she just got her first paycheck).
7) She feels trapped although I haven't stopped her from leaving. She wants to leave so she can begin to explore other options.

She has 'threatened' to move out plenty of times before. I never stopped her and I never tried talking her out of it. I wouldn't say I encouraged it but this time I'm thinking I should.

Any thoughts? H4C has mentioned that encouraging her at this point could be a good thing. I thought I would simply tell her that she needs to pick a date and that we need to prepare the kids.

Thanks for any input.
