[QUOTE="rush, post: 608376, member: 16988"] Hello, I am new here. I, too, have a troublesome adult child. She was diagnosed as bi-polar and was getting counseling and medications while at home. About 6 months ago, my 18 year old decided she was going to move 600 miles away to live with a friend at his grandma's house. We tried to talk her out of it with no luck. She stayed there for 5 months, never could find a job, and granny got tired of her and put her out. She then started sleeping in missions and shelters. She called and said she was ready to come home. I sent the money out there. She kept the money and didn't come back. Then she had her car keys stolen, and eventually, her car. She ended up calling at 1 am saying she couldn't find anywhere to stay. I booked her into a hotel for 3 days, and my husband and I drove out there and brought her home. She left with a car, clothes, laptop, TV, and video games. Came back with the clothes on her back. She was difficult to live with before she left. Since she has been back home, she doesn't help much around the house, is very belligerent to me, and we just found out she got into our bedroom, took a credit card statement, and proceeded to charge things to our account. The credit card company called us because the account had a large amount of activity on it lately and we don't use it that much. I know she has stolen from me before, right before she moved away. She lied about it of course, but I know she did it. I don't know what to do. I want her to get out, but she has no car, no job, nothing. There are no shelters in this part of the country for her to stay in. She could stay with her sister, but my older daughter wouldn't put up with it for long. I have made her a dr appointment. with her psychiatrist for this week so at least she gets her medications. Any advice? I honestly don't know what to do and this is putting an incredible strain on my marriage. Thanks for listening! [/QUOTE]
