[QUOTE="Elmo, post: 29758, member: 1651"] Hi everybody. I haven't posted for, I guess, 2 years. I still come to check you all out. I like to see how you all are doing, plus it is the kindest site I've encountered. My (former I think) difficult child, went through an EGBS, had a good deal of issues including somatic disorders and trichotillomainia, but really pulled up after she was 20. I still think she is a wonderful girl and we have a good relationship. She is my stepdaughter. My question to you is, she is asking us to bail her out of $$$ again. We are supportive, but she has dug a huge hole. She wrote an e-mail to her Dad, who has helped her out before, asking for his financial advice, before she files bankruptcy. $11,000+ in credit card debt. Dad is tougher than I with bailing her out, but he is still her Dad and it is really tough for him. I've done a bunch of research and thinking and think she should file. Goes against every grain of my being...but what are the alternatives? Her family bails her out, yet again? I don't really know what the way to go is here. Any advice would be much appreciated. Oh, and she is a really good, hard, dependable worker. She works retail. Pretty much minimum wage. I wish she would sell on comission, but when I pushed her to do it she said she tried to sell jewlery at a famous chain jewler...and they were going to hire her...but she was on the credit list for being a dead beat. Sigh. Elmo [/QUOTE]
