[QUOTE="Shari, post: 424239, member: 1848"] I get the 'old school' ideas, jen, but, to paraphrase dr phil...how was that working for ya? It wasn't. She has to hit bottom ON HER OWN. Yeah, it would be faster if this mom would boot her, but honestly, most difficult child's have the gift of gab...if it's not this woman, it will be someone else. And maybe someone worse. Maybe someone who makes her 'pay' rent...however she can....maybe maybe maybe... Point is, it could be worse than harboring a kid who will be 18 in 7 days... And if you involve yourself in her situations AT ALL? She's going to continue to blame you for 'screwing things up' instead of realizing that she's doing it all on her own... I get how hard it is. We've been there. You have the collective wisdom of how many people here???? Don't reinvent the wheel. If you cant bear to ignore her calls and texts, make this your standard reply.... 'that's nice, dear'. Period. [/QUOTE]
