[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 100879, member: 1545"] I think this is part of the 'pulling away' process. They want to differentiate themselves from us. Clinically speaking this is a normal part of growth and autonomy. When my daughter was about 17, she declared, quite loudly I might add that she was an atheist. Being Christians, she knew this was the the one value that was 'diametrically opposed to everything' we stood for. It was painful. I tried not to let my disappointment show. She has come full circle and has now embraced her faith - as her own. You have every right to be upset about her irresponsibility - especially is she counts on your to buy groceries, and have a roof over her head. Does she live with you? Does she help with rent? You have give your daughter a foundation through lessons you've taught her and by being an example of those lessons. There is not much else you can do. Some kids learn their lessons the hard way - through negative experiences. Some kids learn by heeding parental advise. Sounds like your daughter prefers the school of hard knocks. Bummer for her and you. [/QUOTE]
