[QUOTE="hoper, post: 619395, member: 17642"] Thankyou, thankyou. My 24 yr old difficult child daughter is the eldest child. Her 19 year old brother, also adopted, regularly stole from the family home when he was younger and living at home and smoking pot and unemployed. I kicked him out 9 months ago and he promptly moved to the city, enrolled in college and eventually found himself a casual job. This proved to me that I had done the right thing and there is no love lost between us. Kicking my 24 yr old difficult child daughter out for stealing and cutting of all financial support to her is sending a clear message to my son that I wont tolerate stealing and 'dole bludging' (I'm an Aussie) anymore. Trouble is my daughter is serially codependent. Since leaving home at 18, she has gone from one dependent relationship to the next, moving into the boyfriend's family home and working her charms on him & his parents. Now she's living with her new boyfriend's family, no job, no drivers licence and pot smoking daily. Whenever she has a chance to get ahead, like start a course or new job, she has an anxiety attack and quits. She is now on medication for her anxiety. I believe she would rather be poor and lazy than work for the things in life she wants. [/QUOTE]
