[QUOTE="DaisyC1234, post: 750819, member: 24338"] [USER=23706]@BusynMember[/USER] Thank you so much! My parents did this to me and so I made it clear to my 17 year old yesterday that I don't want to do that to her at all. I want to make sure I give her whatever support and time she needs. We had an emotional lunch/conversation and both cried a lot and I promised I wouldn't do to her what my parents did to me. My brother to this day is just sucking the life out of them. They know this but still give him money and cars. I was the good one and got no attention and I think I just realized this like a month ago. If it's on my way to taking my son to his classes I'll drop her off at the bus stop, but I won't go out of my way to give her a ride. The closest public transportation stop is about 5 miles from my house. You are correct, she'll need to figure out that path is and she has until the end of September to do so. She got approved for some PELL grant money and she's going to use that to get a place to stay while using my parents car. That's the plan.... We initially bought her a car when she was 18, she crashed it. My parents bought her two cars after that, which she also crashed. My husband and I are planning a trip to Portland, Oregon on November 1st for our 17 year anniversary and I am already worried, but I know we need to do this.
