[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 680186, member: 20063"] I think you answered your own question. :) No matter if she's on drugs, just a liar and a thief, or has a problem with money...(sometimes that alone is an addiction), seem like you have it figured out. No enabling. If she ends up in a strip club, hopefully she will use her money wisely, which I doubt, and that will probably just enable her bad choices more. Although I do happen to know a few women who have done that...one is a Pediatrician now, one a masters in social work and doing therapy in private practice. I know, I digress here, but this is true. I am in an area where there are a lot of strip clubs and decent jobs are scarce and the money pulled them in (addiction to money, drugs, etc---all bad things for young women and men found in those haunts). If it's used wisely, and only as a business, with a business minded young woman, I have seen it work. But, man one would have to have little self respect to do this, in my opinion. I also know in Georgia, there's a mecca for these places. I know a little about it. It's a pull for a lot of young women and our society in general makes it all too easy for them to end up there. If it's used wisely, it can be a good stepping stone, but too many women fall into the drugs, prostitution, alcohol, etc. I would walk away and let the cards fall where they may. Doesn't matter what you say, she's going to do what she wants. Spread her wings and fly or crash. Then, put 'loving her from a distance' in play...there for support emotionally but not financially until she shows improvement. That's what I would do. Sounds like you realize this is what you need to do. You probably just needed to hear it from others. :) [/QUOTE]
