[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 544575, member: 13542"] Thanks for the update. In my humble opinion your daughter is now working the 'pulling at Mom's heartstrings manipulation' which of course, is intended to make you feel exactly how you are presently feeling. You feel guilty, you give in, she gets to stay and abuse you some more. Isn't that the usual script? Someone has to change it and it's not going to be her. She decided to not look for work in a serious manner, not you. She decided to hang out doing nothing while the date loomed closer, not you. She says she has no choice, but she literally has hundreds of choices, she just chooses to do nothing and take the easy way out. And the easy way out is to guilt you into giving in rather then grow up and do the adult and responsible thing. She's made all the bad decisions, not you. You made a good decision, and I do know how remarkably difficult it is to stick to it, but you must, for your sake, and ultimately hers too. Stay the course. Let us know how Saturday goes. HUGS!!
