[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 710562, member: 1550"] I agree with RN 100%. 300%. Just because this grown women demands you do something doesnt mean you have to. She has a college education. She wants that perfect job? If she were mine she wouldnt be looking for it under my roof. She'd work, do chores and act with respect at all times or she'd live elsewwhere or nowhere. At 31 she is not that cute little girl who once adored you. She is taller, with a womans figure and is capable of giving birth. Dont think of her as a little girl. She isnt. One last tip that worked for me. Every time she threatens suicide call 911. Just do it. That is cruel, scary and out of your realm. Bet she will stop the threats. Look up borderline personality disorder. See if she is similar. If so buy the book Walking on Eggshells by Randi Krieger. I also highly recommend Codependent No More by Melody Beattie and Boundaries by Cloud and Townstead. The latter has a Christian slant, but if that doesnt apply to to you, skip that part and read the rest. It will still glean wisdom. You need to learn boundaries to protect yourself. You need to learn to say no. Take care!! [/QUOTE]
