[QUOTE="Star*, post: 95793, member: 4964"] but on the other I know that then I will be in a position dealing with getting her to and from work and dealing with her depression over being trapped in the house alone because her loser friends can't visit her or take her out! You know, maybe it would be a blessing in disguise. And I don't have to help her get to and from work - she can figure it out. One of the conditions of her coming home from her dad's was that she can't be getting wasted and having that interfere with MY life. Uh Huh...... And just WHEN do you WANT her to start growing up and having independent living skills? 22? She's out of high school and sponging off of you, drinking and driving and while on one hand you 'think' cutting her out of a vehicle, insurance etc would come back to bite you - if you continue to allow her to have these behaviors you are prolonging the inevitable. - Cancel her D(*& insurance, tell her to pay for it herself. Tell her that you spoke with your agent and he knows she's drinking and driving (Hyped up on coffee is still just drunk with a coffee buzz) Tell her how she gets back and forth to work is HER problem, take the bus - getting the bus routes and fares are HER problem too. She has a job? She likes the money? Good - tell her to keep it or she's out and can go live with her "friends" and see how long it takes for her to call them up in the middle of the night and say "Im drunk - but I'm driving your car on your insurance - okay?" Oh you have to get up at 5 - ??? Yeah - and I'm to get my stuff out of your house tomorrow? - THey aren't going to put up with her crapanaggins either. ANd as far as having to ask her to clean house - I would lay down the law - she's left herself WIDE open for YOUR wrath and I would get some cleaning out of her. WRite it out, sit her down, explain life as it is going to be for her - or tell her to hit the road. If she kills someone driving home drunk - she's REALLY going to be depressed then isn't she? And what then? been there done that threw her out~ No regrets. Star [/QUOTE]
