[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 541782, member: 14356"] Welcome to the site - sorry you have to be here. I do not have a fully grown child but I do know how you feel. Our 16 year old was out of the house for 5 week recently and it was very difficult. Your situation is different in that your daughter is 22 and has decided that she is not willing to grow up and take responsibility for herself. I have been told by many people with more experience than I that some kids just need to learn the hard way. Unfortunately your daughter sounds like one of those kids. It is so hard to draw that line in the sand and hold firm but I believe you are doing the right thing. It sounds like she needs to be forced to take some control and responsibility for her life and to do that she needs to get out on her own. There are many parents here that will chime in with more advice but it is a weekend and like someone else said there aren't as many around on weekends. Big hugs and sympathy for what you are going through. [/QUOTE]
