[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 543274, member: 1157"] Sadly I think she's taking advantage of the breaks you're giving her. I don't think she appreciates them, and I don't think she's going to change as long as she doesn't "have to." It sounds like letting her slide isn't doing her any favors :( I'm sorry, I know how much it hurts. As I've said before, I've become pretty numb to lying. It's just a fact of life with Oldest. I'm a total skeptic when it comes to any story she tells me, especially regarding employment or rent issues. I can't tell you how I finally got to this point, I guess it was a gradual process. I still vent about it to close friends when it happens, but it's in more of you "can you believe this crazy stuff?" way than an angry way. It's sad that you have to become that jaded about our own child.. but.. it's a survival tactic for me. It was either that, or give myself a stroke over it. Hugs. I hope you can find a resolution soon. Take care of you. [/QUOTE]
