[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 678018, member: 1550"] Hi there. So sorry for your grief. The only thing you can do for an adult child who won't go to school or work is to cut her off so she will have motivation to at least work. Get her off your cell plan. No internet. No money. No car. Nothing. You can also decide on what conditions she has to meet to live in your home.One condition can be that she finishes school or takes classes toward her GED. That is so important, but she won't do it on her own apparentlly. Because of her age, she will probably need to get the information herself. Maddening, I know. Don't bother trying to take her cell phone. Cut off the services. That works better. Hugs and I'm sorry...very sorry she is making bad choices. It IS different once they are legal adults and we have to adjust our way of dealing with them as well. [/QUOTE]
