[QUOTE="busywend, post: 479758, member: 391"] Your daughter is parenting resistant. Mine was, too. They just really have this need to not be parented. So stop. Actually, your best parenting move is to not parent her. She is 21, she has to figure things out on her own. She WANTS to figure things out on her own. So let her. She is who she is and you may not like her very much. Decide right here and now how much you will support her in her life style. Will you let her live with you when she gets out? If not, have a list of housing she can call upon release. It really is her life right now and until she feels it is not the life for her, there is no changing it. [/QUOTE]
