[QUOTE="marthacat, post: 710872, member: 21564"] I see a lot of my daughter in your post. She too is not able to hold a job; smokes; uses threats; and I also give her money hoping I can keep her happy. I recently told her she has a month to find a job and see a doctor, which she says she understands but has done nothing about it. She was home for the weekend and before she left, had a major blow up that started being about her boyfriend, and ended with me being a terrible parent that never showed her love; never was a strong person; never told her about sex or drugs or set a good example for her. She ranted on and on about how her problems were all caused by her terrible childhood. And she is still controlled by me and the fact that I give her money and make her feel that she cant manage on her own. That last part was the only piece that made any sense. I am sure I wasnt the best parent but I cannot believe that she never felt any love from me or her dad. She was so happy as a child. I feel like I have been beaten to a pulp, am still shaking inside. She made threats to harm herself and went into a rage. Ultimately calmed down but I feel horrible that she is once again alone and probably laying in her bed, sleeping or crying or worse. She will not see a doctor or stay home with us. Anyway, sorry to go on about myself but: you are not alone. The advice to stop giving money makes sense when you step away from the situation but is so hard to do. Just know that I am praying for you, your son, and my daughter. [/QUOTE]
