[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 419325, member: 1233"] Not providing the prom dress, the permit, the hotel, spending $$ etc... is one way to stop her. If she won't follow rules she gets nothing. This means turn her phone off. If you cannot cancel the plan have it put on vacation mode - it will cost less per month and she won't be able to use it until you put it back on regular mode. Go into her room and take away all of her clothes but a few very boring simple outfits. If she wants to breeze in and out change the locks and keep the doors locked. My Gma was 1000% right on that issue. I was about 4 or 5 when my aunt graduated high school and I can still remember my Gma telling her that she could leave the house anytime she wanted. But that door might not open when she wanted to come home. I have perfect faith that had my aunt actually walked out or snuck out late at night she would return and my Gma might not unlock the door for a few days after that. And you can be dang sure no $$, clothes, car or food would be available to her until Gma opened the door - and aunt had better have been willing to follow every rule to the letter or the door would be locked again. Well, food would have been out but it would be cat food as Gma put food outside during the day so if her cats were outside they would have food if they wanted it. And while my Gma's sister lived next door and her bro lived across the street, none of those doors would open for her until my Gma gave the OK. Maybe that would be something to think about with your difficult child. I am sorry she feels she can walk all over you. If she is able to do all of that then surely she is able to pay rent, and for her food and other expenses, Know what I mean?? I hope she is looking for a job so she can afford a place to sleep and to replace the clothes that she has lost the rights to. [/QUOTE]
