[QUOTE="MockTertl, post: 227291, member: 6548"] My daughter was seeing a psychologist when we relocated who preached that the Bible and God would take care of everything - she was fired for doing this to many people she was entrusted to counsel. Being born an extremely difficult child I tried every route imaginable to help her - from structure to nutrition to behavior management until we found a clinic that took the time to discuss everything I had been through with her since pregnancy. Our economy is in the pits and it seems she is never able to stay employed anywhere for long as she won't get along with the people she works with. I am currently living in the middle of nowhere and the closest jobs are over an hour away and she has no transportation as she is giving her car to her boyfriend (another one of her manipulation tactics that is only going to hurt her - she's good at this). She IS extremely manipulative and it's not always easy for me to recognize when she is pulling this - until after the fact. I am on good terms with the local police who have had to deal with her before when she lived at home. Getting an apartment is not easy as she will have to have a stable job, security deposit and the first months rent - certainly not something I can help her with. In giving her car to her boyfriend (they own it jointly) who lives 120 miles east of us she is basically leaving herself stranded since I can't sacrifice my financial position to secure hers. She has applied with agencies for work and not heard anything and now will have no way to get to any work. She is not welcome to live with her dad, grandmother, aunt or her boyfriends relatives as he has no home either. I feel stuck with this explosive individual who has no coping skills and cannot undergo changes of any type without turning them into crises. I still am unsure as to whether she will stay here or will abandon ship and stay somewhere with her boyfriend when she drives in there to give him the car. She's my daughter and I am terrified of getting a call she is dead from making another bad decision. How many people have to tell her the same thing and for how long before she straightens up? She was diagnosed with depression but decided she wouldn't take her medications on her own, and I couldn't force her to take them. When she did take them she was a different person. [/QUOTE]
