[QUOTE="Malika, post: 541379, member: 11227"] Hello and welcome. Frankly, I think you've gone beyond a situation in which remedies can be found by punishing her. She is an adult and the relationship should contain the respect befitting a relationship between two adults. I certainly would withdraw my credit card immediately - if she has hidden it and refuses to give it back, I would cancel the account. I would also draw up a clear set of rules about what constitutes respect for each other or other family members within the home. I would encourage her independence and her moving out into being able to handle money and live within a budget. If she had to finance herself without help, she would do this. I realise she is your daughter but it sounds like she is exploiting you. It's not easy, I realise, to draw up clear lines but I really would, for both your sakes. [/QUOTE]
