[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 637116, member: 1550"] GM, the sooner she is gone the better. Stop paying for anything for her. She not only doesn't appreciate it, she berates you because of your kindness...and she does it to gaslight you and to be mean. You shouldn't have to hear this or put up with it. If this were my kid, she would be told to get her attitude adjusted or she had a month to three months to make arrangements because she was leaving. If she wastes those months and doesn't get a job or find somebody willing to take her in, then give her a list of shelters and food pantries when she leaves. If it comes to that she has made the decision that being able to smack talk you every single day, stay out all night without telling you where she is, and being unemployed/uneducated is more important to her than a roof over her head in your house. SHE has made the decision. You gave her options to avoid it. You can't force her to get her GED, but you can make it a condition of living under your roof. I wouldn't bother trying to justify yourself to your relatives. They'll learn. It may be slowly, but they will learn. You have enough on your plate without trying to convince your relatives that you tried, but...it's too tiring and usually doesn't work anyway. We can tell you this over and over again, but, just like our adult kids, you are the one who has to put yourself out of your misery. We can't do it for you. Hugs and hope you have a good day.
