[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 322098, member: 1550"] Hi there. Actually you DO belong here, but the best forum for you would be Parent Emeritus, where everyone is dealing with adults (although they all seem like they never grew up). My initial feeling is, why do you feel you have to take care of her? If she is over 18 and making poor choices, nobody should enable her and she should suffer the consequences of her behavior. Why on earth do you feel you have to take care of her in any way? Because people make you feel guilty? You do not help a drug addict by making sure they have a roof over their heads. They need to hit rock bottom or they will never stop their behavior. I recommend you go to Al-Anon or Nar-Anon in advance of her visit to have real people telling you about their experiences. I suspect most will tell you not to take her in, no matter how much "the family" wants you to do it. I'd go to Parent Emeritus to talk to more parents with adult children. Welcome to the board!!!
