[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 294757"] UGH! I'm so sorry. It does NOT sound kosher. I agree with- Kathy...look into student loans if this college thing looks like it is really going to happen. Then have her do most of the work to get them. Ya know what...I know a mom of a difficult child whose kid dropped out of college and then got an apartment in the college town AWAY from mom and dad. Worked part time jobs and mom and dad sent some money now and again. It was difficult, but mom and dad (I think) felt it was a better situation 'cause their child was away from home for awhile and it gave them a rest. Also, what about drug testing? There are lots of kits at the stores these days. If she is staying in your home and expecting you to help out with- college, perhaps you should consider some pee in a cup. I would try to de-escalate (if possible...wow...sure seems like it would be super tough) any drama. There is a certain normalcy to high drama right before a child leaves for college. Unreal....I'm so sorry. This has got to feel crummy. [/QUOTE]
