[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 631217, member: 1550"] WDIGW, the book is right. Your daughter is not like an employee. She is not negotiating with you nor is she motivated to please you, like an employee would be (or, frankly, it could cost her a job, which the employee values and needs). in my opinion you *should* stop trying to fix her because you can't and you *should* start making your own life better, because you can. Your daughter isn't a young kid and stepping in, trying to fix her, hasn't worked so far. You can help an employee change his/her work habits (AND THAT IS ONLY IF HE/SHE IS WILLING TO), but you can not force your daughter to do anything at all. Nothing. So she spent the money to get home on drugs? I wish you luck. I hope you maybe attend an Al-Anon or Nar-Anon meeting and decide to get your own self in order so that you can live a rich and fulfilling life despite your daughter's dysfunction. I would not be allowing her back home, but, if you do, please be careful, take safeguards, and lock up ALL your money or credit cards in some sort of safe where she can not access it. Hugs and good wishes. [/QUOTE]
