[QUOTE="newstart, post: 748579, member: 22416"] Nomad, I bought a home for my daughter to rent from us, close to mine, but not too close. It takes me 20 minutes to walk to her home if I do a power walk. I looked at this home as an extention of our home, Lord knows I could not have her living here with us. My daughter can make her bills for a while and then makes stupid decisions and we are back to square one. The house that I bought for her to live in is working for us for the time being. This has not been easy, it has been stressful many times, but it helps me to sleep at night. Since I do not go over there much or make unexpected visits like in the past she has stepped up and is keeping things better, the neighbors have even mentioned improvements. With my daughter, things are always up and down off and on but recently for 7 months she has been making her bills and paying back payments to me for all the rent she missed, the place still get messy and the trash is not always taken out but it is better. It maybe tiny baby steps forward. I sleep better knowing she is living in a neighborhood that has great security. I tried my very best to help her get going on the right path and if she does not want that anymore that is ok, I can sleep well knowing I did everything in my power to help guide her into a better life. My life with my daughter is still stressful and I am constantly dodging her lies but it is better than it was a few years ago. The other shoe falls often but it seems she is quicker to get back up and back on some sort of better track. This house arrangement has been going on since 2007. Many times I did not think it would work, many times I wanted to kick her out but I prayed hard about it and felt it was best to work with it. I got the answers through deep prayer. You have to have nerves of steel to do this but it was the right choice for us for the time being. [/QUOTE]
