[QUOTE="amelia d, post: 635354, member: 18177"] Hi Kitten, We're all keeping our fingers crossed for you! I would use the job as bartering for her other behavior. It is great that she can get a job and flex her independence, but I would remind her that her job is directly related to her attending school, no drug use and treating her family with respect. You need to keep a hard line on the job (how many hours, what days and hours she can work). I know--I sound like a wet blanket--but remember, the underlying issues haven't changed and her earning her own money gives her more opportunity to buy things (like drugs) without you knowing. More freedom is probably not the priority for her right now. Just my opinion.. [/QUOTE]
