[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 538931, member: 2211"] Ditto what Hound and Tired said. I would not pay for anything except her health insurance-at least that way you're assured (for the most part) that she's taking her medications, seeing her dr, etc. No phone, no auto ins, no gas, no money. She wants to be free? She wants to be treated as an adult? Well, then, welcome her to the 'real' world and allow her the opportunity be an adult. With freedom, comes responsibility and she needs to realize that. I pray she doesn't get disability-it would be the biggest mistake ever that could affect the rest of her life! It's difficult to cut them off...because you see the many ways in which she still needs parental involvement. However, that said, I think as parents we underestimate our difficult child's. They've developed a certain level of craftiness that has served them well for years...now let her use those skills. She will likely survive and figure it out. It may take a long time, years even, but what's the alternative? Hounding her and turning her against you and more towards the loser boyfriend? Hugs, it's not easy this stuff you're dealing with.
