[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 669026, member: 1963"] This is going to sound extremely harsh, and I don't at all mean it to sound so, nor do I mean this to be hurtful, but at this point, I see only one option: That being to swear out a restraining order against your daughter, and be willing to press charges if she comes on your property again. If she steals from you, be willing to press charges of breaking and entering against her. That is the only thing that is going to break this cycle. I wish i had a nicer, "softer" way to word this, or gentler advice, but I just don't. You've established a pattern of enabling, and in doing so, have "trained" your daughter to believe that her behavior is acceptable. The only way to break that pattern is to break is cleanly, and that, unfortunately, is most likely going to involve going the legal route. My heart goes out to you and your wife. [/QUOTE]
