[QUOTE="1905, post: 9375, member: 2668"] (((hugs)))! I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. My difficult child would take every fresh start, every chance, every time we intervened and fixed stuff,- and just do it again. I got my hopes up each time, and was let down. My advice would be to let her fix it. She knows she needs a job. Only she can get one. She knows what she has to do. She depends on husband to make it alll better, and that will never end if you don't end it. I know it hurts, but her incentive to do better is to actually have a consequence. I do know how badly you are hurting. She won't die out in the real world. Things aren't dire enough for her to make changes as you can see. Our goal is to have our kids be independant functioning adults, even though it may take awhile and they may need extra help from us. Sometimes the extra help comes in the form of letting them face the consequences. Sending support and hugs!-Alyssa [/QUOTE]
