[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678642, member: 18958"] Hi Teacher. I echo everybody else. You are doing the right thing. You have tried to avail her of every opportunity and confidence. Not one of them them she took advantage of. It was time to stop. She is an adult. It is one thing if our kids go to college or are doing some productive and constructive thing to build a future. The pattern you describe is nothing of the sort. She seems to be using your help to dig a deeper hole for herself. Thank G-d she no longer has a vehicle. I believe this is one reason they treat us so. Because they can. And their contempt for us grows proportional to their contempt for themselves. When you begin to set a limit, things can change for you and for her. She can have a new start too. With respect for you, she [I]can[/I] begin to make self-respecting choices. I believe that. I see it with my own son. He is proud of himself because he is respecting a limit I set. He said it: I have been respecting the limit you said. I have not talked about the stuff anymore, because you asked me not to. Now is the beginning of a new day. For you and for your daughter, I pray. I am glad you found us. Keep posting. We care. We know what you deal with. Take care. COPA [/QUOTE]
