[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 189047, member: 3626"] Most states say 18 or 19 a person is considered an adult. However, if her attitude is that she will discontinue medications at 18 but still be able to live at home, you do have some options. You don't have to provide anything but the very basics. No new clothes (Goodwill works if you absolutely have to give her any). No electronics of any sort. No "good" food -- rice and water and an overripe banana every meal really is okay. Unless she bought it herself, take it out of her room. No rides nor access to a car even if she bought the car herself -- if there's an accident, you'll be legally responsible so long as she lives at home, so no driving and no giving her rides. In other words, make her life so miserable she will either follow your rules or move out. Not a lot of fun and the battles will be enormous but it will get your message across. by the way -- I'd start now given her attitude. [/QUOTE]
