[QUOTE="accmama, post: 608782"] Thank you all SO MUCH! I had to come back here to read your words today because she is carrying on today about how she has no where to go. She texted "I'm losing it" so I called to ask her what is going on. She then tells me she needs money because her friend won't let her stay more than 2 weeks. I reminded her that one week ago, we gave her money to drive home to move back in with us and she decided to lie to us and take that money to go to stay with a friend instead. In a nutshell, in her words I am going to cause her to be raped, killed or drug addicted because I refuse to send money for her to use for an apartment. If I did send her money for an apartment, this scenario would just play out again in 3 months when she's again out of money and needing money from me or face being evicted. It is better for her to learn now that she can't call me for money every time she has made poor choices with the money she earns from her job. This has to end now. We told her we'd follow through with our promises not to help if she made bad choices and she made bad choices. Someone tell me I am doing the right thing. It hurts to know she is scared and suffering emotionally right now. I told her the only help I will offer is a bus ticket home. I will always have a place for her but if I'm footing the bill for her life, it will be under my conditions. Take it or leave it. [/QUOTE]
