[QUOTE="witzend, post: 602940, member: 99"] You also don't have to house and clothe and feed her, because she is an adult. Let her choose. Transitional living, or wherever she can find a bed that's not your house. Please ignore her. Please don't ask her to eat. Please don't ask her to do anything other than pack or you'll put it out for the Goodwill. She's manipulating you, and you know darned well she's not going to starve herself. Seriously, I'd have a hard time not breaking into hysterical laughter at a 25 year old threatening to starve themselves to death. What next? She's going to hold her breath until she dies? These are threats that four year olds make. People who want to die just do it. They might threaten it, but I promise you they [I]never[/I] threaten to starve themselves to death. They get a knife or a gun or a bottle of pills - [I]not that I'd mention any of this to her[/I] - but I'd give her until noon tomorrow to get out, and [I]skip[/I] making any deals with her. Transitional Living or streets, her choice. [/QUOTE]
