[QUOTE="ksm, post: 711760, member: 12511"] So sorry you are going thru this. It is hard. Now is the time to concentrate on you. Remember, you do not owe your daughter a car or money. Stop texting or calling her. It won't be long til she will be contacting you when she wants more money. Be pleasant, but firm. Maybe have some guidelines...offer to meet somewhere for lunch maybe once a month. Tell her she is smart enough to figure out her problems. At the top of this forum is an article on detachment. Read it. Keep reading it. Have some quotes ready to respond with with when she wants something from you. "That must be really difficult, but I am sure you will work this out". "It is good to hear from you, I am sorry things are hard." I am sure you will see the sweet side when she wants something from you, and the rude side when you say you can't help financially. You can give her information about agencies that might provide help. Stay strong. Don't cave in. Ksm [/QUOTE]
