[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 728737, member: 16024"] Hi Lea, Sounds like your daughter is not ready to get her life together, yet. If she was, she would be grateful for any suggestions that you offered. A while back I was in a parking lot, loading my groceries into my car, when a woman and her pre-teen son came up to me and asked for money. She said she needed gas to get to a homeless shelter in a town a some miles away. I thought she was telling the truth, as I couldn’t believe she would lie right in front of her child, who was old enough to understand. I told her to meet me at the gas station at the far end of the parking lot, and I would put gas in her car for her. She immediately had several reasons why that just wouldn’t work—oh, I don’t want to put you to the trouble, don’t you have any cash—I can get the gas on my own. I told her I didn’t have any cash on me, and she actually asked me to go back into the store and get cash from my credit card! When I told her no, she wondered off, and I saw her hitting up someone else. Then she actually came back over to me to complain that the man she asked for money from had had a big wad of cash but only gave her two dollars.... There is plenty of help out there, if she wanted to get her life together. I’m sorry your daughter is doing this, but you are doing a great job not falling for it! Apple [/QUOTE]
