[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 656859, member: 1550"] Is shse working? Why is she still living at home at 2&? Why do you think it will help her if you keep her at home and shield her? Did that help for your son? I believe in Tough Love. My daughter quit drugs, including cigarettes, shortly after she was escorted out of our house and had to sink or swim on her own at age nineteen. We cut off the money tree too, but one thing she had going for her is she had always worked because we cut off the ATM when we knew about the drugs. You can't change either of your children, but you CAN change yourseslf and the way you respond to their refusal to grow up and stop acting in criminal ways. You don't have to make it YOUR problem because it isn't. No 27 year old of mine would be living at home. I think that is harmful for both parent and adult child. Nor would I pay for a 27 year old's cell phone, internet or let her/him use a car of mine unless he/she was sober and paying for gas and his portion of insurance. Disrespect at t hat age is enough to show them the door. I don't think she will improve as long as she is at home acting like she is still a child. I'm glad to "meet" you, but sorry you had to come here. [/QUOTE]
