[QUOTE="LeaMac, post: 739392, member: 22385"] I actually thought we had establoshed firm boundaries with my 28 year old daughter, but alas .... After leaving rehab in January she has been living with a guy we never heard of. Her baby was placed in foster care ( we declined to take him in). We thought maybe her desire to regain her child would be impetus to get and keep a job Nd turn things around. But now it’s almost Sept and the child is still in foster care. We don’t know the details and don’t want to. Anything my daughter would tell us we wouldn’t believe anyway. Yesterday she texted my husband asking for $1200 to avoid an eviction notice. Just as in the past, this plea comes couched in phrases like “just this once” and “I’ve worked so hard to turn my life around.” She hasn’t worked at all since leaving rehab. and it hasn’t even been a year since she broke into our home and stole several expensive items. So why am I in such anguish? I don’t think we should give her the money, but my husband is unsure.Why bail her out for the umpteenth time? None of the other assistance we have given her made a bit of difference, except in our bank account. And what happens when/if she gets the baby back and hits us with another plea? I really want nothing to do with her until she has a job and is living responsibly for at least a year. Maybe more. Thoughts anyone? [/QUOTE]
