[QUOTE="Ruffled feathers, post: 719820, member: 22292"] My daughter is 21 and is working a part time job cleaning dog kennels for minimum wage. Her job is over an hour away from my home. She loves the job because she has a crush on a boy there. She was born deaf and hears with bilateral cochlear implants; when she has the implants on, her hearing is very good; however, when she doesn't want to talk to me, she won't put them on. She has been in 2 mental hospitals this year and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. She takes Rx for the bipolar disorder. She was arrested last month for DUI, possession of marijuana and speeding. I did not bail her out - she stayed in jail for 2 weeks. It took her entire paycheck and $250 from me to get her out. I paid $200 to get her car out of impound. I told her she would have to pay me back, but minimum wage doesn't even give her enough money for gas between paychecks. This kiddo is extremely disrespectful to me, screaming and cussing when she doesn't get her way. I've tried to help her get out on her own by setting her up in a safe affordable apartment and paying everything for 6 months with the understanding that after 6 months, she would be on her own. Well, 6 months came and she had lost a very good paying job because she didn't feel like going to work. She had to leave the apartment and move in with her dad. Their agreement was that she would keep a job and pay him $100 per month. She got a job, but spent all her money shopping; He locked her out of the house so she slept in her car and called me the next morning. I was very upset that my child had to sleep outside so I gathered her things and moved her back in with me. When she gets upset, she cuts herself, smokes pot (not sure how she can afford this), drinks and posts pity parties on Facebook. She confessed to using cocaine, heroine and prostituting herself for drugs. I love her very much and I try to encourage her daily but she is wearing me and my pocketbook out! [/QUOTE]
