[QUOTE="ksm, post: 708379, member: 12511"] My daughter needs to "do taxes" because she had two part time jobs in 2016. She worked one for 2 months and one for 3 months. She will probably get a refund of all she paid in to federal and state taxes. When she gets a refund, she could fix the problem with her car, and it will stop chewing up her tires. She could have done this a month ago, online, and it takes about 15 minutes. She could have had a check for $300 to 400 dollars by now. Last night, she called and said she got another flat tire. husband had to pick up her and a friend and take them to someone's house to spend the night. It's the one I paid to replace 4 days ago. Yes, I am glad that my daughter is not doing illegal things. But, I don't want her to have a life of couch surfing, no job, no post high school education or vocational training, and wearing the same clothes for 4 days. To me, that is not "living" and will probably lead to future problems. At the end of this week, her car insurance will expire. That will set her up for legal problems as she won't have the discipline not to drive it with out insurance. She has lost most her clothes by staying at multiple places and not keeping track of her belongings. She has lost or broken 4 phones in the last year. Does not currently have a phone with service, and doesn't even have one to log on to free wifi when she finds it. She looks like a homeless person. If you haven't lived with a person who has no executive function skills, you can't really say that that person is not a problem. It's not the same as a drug addict or a criminal...but it is a very difficult life for them and their families. Ksm Ps...it is my younger Difficult Child that was having the substance abuse issues. Both daughters were in foster care for a year before we got custody. This has left them with problems forming healthy relationships with others. [/QUOTE]
