[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 176585"] I think this is a classic case where you see she needs additional help and want to be of help...however you sense considerable possibilities for stress and know in your heart that you are entitled to peace and quiet. I think it is good that your daughter wants to get help and that there are avenues available to her in your area; including those that will help her find a job. What you might do is tell her that you would like to offer your home for ___ amount of months and that you are confident that she wiill be working steady at a job by then. After that, you will help with a down payment for an apartment nearby. Your role is to help her, not to enable her. Having her in your home for an indefinate period of time could change your relationship. Having her nearby, would likely keep the relationship on more of an adult level. I would "keep your 'eye on the prize'" and that is, if I'm reading this right, to build up her strengths...but then keep a healthy and loving distance. [/QUOTE]
