[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 672440, member: 19069"] I have been seeing a counselor to help me learn to detach and stop enabling. I definitely haven't got to that point yet but I am slowly getting better. The first thing my counselor told me on my first visit was to get my car that my son was driving out of my name and off my insurance. He told me to either take the car or make my son put it in his name. The car was paid for is the only difference in us. I told my son that we put the car in his name or I was taking it and he wouldn't have a car. Of course, he begged that he couldn't afford insurance and pleaded and I didn't follow through. He had a very bad wreck and totaled the car, thankfully he wasn't hurt and no other vehicles were involved . He received a DUI and spent one night in jail. Things could have been much worse. He doesn't have any money so who do u think they would come after? I work with a lady who almost lost her home over a very similar situation. I was very angry at myself for not following through and taking the car. My son could have been killed. My advice is to take the car, it could keep your daughter safe. I'm so sorry you're going through this terrible situation. This site is wonderful, keep posting [/QUOTE]
