[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 220962, member: 1545"] A couple thoughts came to mind. Your daughter is 21 and is not working or going to college. You are giving her 'spending money' and she has given up on trying to find a part time job. Personally, I think I would not make things quite so easy for her. I'm of the opinion that most alcoholics are nice people when they are not drinking. The problem is that he is NOT nice when he is drinking. Sounds to me like this boy with- perfect manners is taking serious advantage of your daughter. Ultimately you and your husband need to decide what you are willing to continue to do for your daughter. I would then sit her down and spell out your expectations very clearly. Hugs for your hurting heart. They don't call it 'tough love' for nothing. [/QUOTE]
