[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 645349, member: 13542"] Personally I think you did the right thing taking the phone. Rewarding horrible behavior is not healthy. I believe we have to insist on respect, from EVERYONE, including our kids. Your daughter, like most of our kids, is extremely resourceful. You've helped all you can now. She has made the choice, now you have to accept what is. Not easy, but necessary. Perhaps she will understand when she is older and has to live on her own for awhile, I hope so. But, you can't make your life about waiting for her to figure it out. She's 18. We have no more control once they are "adults" in the eyes of the law. [/QUOTE]
