[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 722501, member: 4152"] I'm so sorry. As I've said before, you might chose to be lenient prior to age 21, but after that...you certainly are not helping at all to enable an adult child. It almost always makes things worse. The others have given you awesome advice. I would look into therapy if you aren't going already. I would definitely look into some sort of support group like Alanon or Parent's Anonymous. These support groups are very helpful As I see it, protect yourself and grandson. No way would I allow her to live with me. If your daughter legitimately wants help, you can guide her to NA mtgs or give her gift cards to the local food store (Limited), give her information re applying for food stamps, or send her to a doctor and pay for the visit. I would consider (key word: consider) very general and limited help IF she is civil you. If she can't be civil to you or you are afraid, I would consider changing the locks to your doors and limiting speaking with her...even not speaking with her at all. I would also consider pressing charges re the theft. And if she steals from you again, don't consider it....do it immediately. [/QUOTE]
