[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 623362, member: 17720"] Hi Just-A-Mom, sorry you have to be here but glad you found it. Like SS said, there are some very wise people around here and I am sure others will be along soon. SS and dashcat and COM are definitely among them. I don't know how old your daughter is, but my feeling is that she is trying to play the guilt card to avoid taking responsibility for her actions. My son did that also. When that stopped working, he said he couldn't handle his demands because of anxiety and panic attacks, then he would not show up for counseling and would not take his medications. It was as if he was trying to create a problem with no solution. For what it's worth, I think you are right to keep the focus on her getting a job. No matter what happened when she was younger, that doesn't excuse taking cash or running up bills she can't afford. [/QUOTE]
