[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 360759, member: 1233"] Unless you have guardianship of her, you are no longer responsible for her financially or in any other way. As MWM and others suggested, she should be eligible for some state aid and that should cover everything. If she runs up bills at stores, etc... that is for her to deal with unless you are cosigned on the account she used to pay for the items (bank account or credit account). I would do all I could to get my name removed from any accounts you are on with her. If guardianship exists I would consult an attorney and have that dissolved. She needs to learn to be responsible for herself. The state should be able to help with that by providing her with a case manager and other supports. It may take time to set that up, but it will be worth it. Your relationship with her may improve if you are not the ones holding the purse strings, so to speak. I would also look into finding a support group for you and your husband to attend. Families anonymous would be a good choice, so would a group for people with codependency issues. I am sorry she has so many problems, but she is an adult and will need to face her problems and deal with them. It is NOT your job to deal with them. In fact, it is not your place to deal with them. How does your husband feel about this? [/QUOTE]
