[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 122920, member: 1436"] Sometimes we as parents need to let them reach bottom before they will accept any help. It's not easy to watch them throw the morals and values we worked hard to instill in them away----but she knows---you taught her right----give it time. I know very few 18 year old non-grads who are able to survive on their own for very long. People, friends and boyfriends, may be willing to help at first, but she will wear out her welcome with them quickly---after all, they don't have to love her. Give it time. Let her suffer the natural consequences she will face in the next few weeks. And when she is ready to come home, set some ground rules. [/QUOTE]
