[QUOTE="rush, post: 614743, member: 16988"] Hello all and happy holidays! It is so nice of you all to take the time to read and respond to these posts. I really appreciate it! My situation hasn't changed much. However, since my last post, my daughter totaled the replacement car the insurance money bought. she wasn't hurt but is without transportation again. And this time it only had liability insurance on it, so no money to replace it. She still hasn't found another job. She isn't really trying too hard to find one either. I leave her numbers to call, places to apply at, but she makes very little effort. I think your are right, she may be depressed. She has gotten into a routine of staying up all night and eating while on the computer, then sleeping most of the day. I gave her the February deadline that she has to be out by, and I posted the rules, which she signed, on the refrigerator. She follows some, ignores others. It is partly my fault for letting her get away with breaking some rules, but I just can't bring myself to toss her out the door in winter knowing she has no where to go. I hope the household can survive until February when I am going to kick her out. Another bad thing about her totaling the car is this. It may sound awful, but I always thought if I kicked her out, and she had no place to go, she could always sleep in her car. I try to keep my chin up. If she makes an honest effort and gets a job, I will find a cheap car for her. Hard to go to work where we live without one when most jobs are at least 15 miles away. I know I am enabling her by letting her stay, but I am trying to muster up the gumption to say "get out" and mean it. After all, it is the only way she will ever grow up. Thanks again all and prayers and blessing to all this holiday season! Rush [/QUOTE]
