[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 521372, member: 3907"] I think you should. You've given her a deadline, and for your own sanity I think you need to stick to it. As long as your difficult child has a comfortable bed, meals and access to creature comforts, she has no incentive or need to look for a new place or a new job. She can continue to focus her energy on using. Everything you contribute to her upkeep means that all of her resources can go toward maintaining her non-functioning lifestyle. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I think your difficult child is at a critical point in her life. Anything you do to "help" her at this stage will hinder her from developing into a fully functioning adult. If she has to focus her energy on surviving in the world, she will have less time and fewer resources available to use. I'm so sorry that you're faced with such a painful situation. [/QUOTE]
