[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 524488"] Oh Nancy - vitamin C may help her? Really no, I don't mean to make light of her fruity drinks. I know this is heartbreaking. And I know it is SO HARD to hold your tongue and not spring into action to try to get thru to her. H and I had this discussion -- he wants to go see difficult child and try to get thru to him. He thinks that difficult child doesn't get the facts. And I would never discourage him, but I did gently remind him that we did present all the facts, all of his options & a healthy dose of common sense and that he didn't care and then he systematically manipulated us. I think we nurture that tiny hope that our kids are naive instead of out of touch. And while it's true they are naive, it's even more true that they are willfully unrealistic. Your difficult child has a long road ahead. She may be violating her lease by letting the electricity be turned off. Furthermore, they will likely require a deposit and an additional fee - plus the back charges & late fees - to turn it back on. For whatever reason, our kids get into holes and just keep digging. As I typed the cliche, I giggled. According to difficult child, one of our biggest faults (you know, our faults that are responsible for EVERYTHING bad in his life) is that we say "stupid sh!t like that". (H's fav phrase - [I]when you find yourself in a hole, first thing you need to do is stop digging[/I]) Threw that in our face more than once... le sigh [/QUOTE]
