[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 699613, member: 355"] Albie, it sounds like you could have written our story! I just had a chance to go through this thread from the beginning. Lost/stolen items are a frequent complaint and because she's in a foreign country, it takes FOREVER for her bank card to be replaced. "Mom, I am not going to be able to eat tomorrow. I have no money. Do you think you could send $500? Otherwise the alternative is something you won't like." When I tell her that she needs to get a job and get her finances in order, all I get back is, "I regret nothing I've done. And who says that my financial issues are due to "poor choices" I live in ASIA. Do I need to remind you that :censored2: happens that is out of my control? You live a safe and secure life. You're not on the road. And you're not in a foreign country. That said. I KNOW for a fact you have at LEAST $200-$500 to help me with." She sent this in April. Since then, she's asked for bailouts in June, July (jail) and a week ago. She said if we didn't help her she would burn her passport so that they would deport her home. When I read through your posts and then read emails/texts from our daughter, I clearly see the pattern and how we have fallen into the trap. I'm so glad that you are finding the strength to let you son experience natural consequences. We are trying to do that now, too. I'm thinking of you! [/QUOTE]
