[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 352074, member: 9175"] Hello, I am not a been there done that mom. I am new to this forum and fairly new to the world of difficult children. My daughter was a model student and a model child until 8th grade and then things slowly started to unwind. She's 18 now and I just found this forum (thank God). Still, I hear in your posts that your mom gut is telling you that there might be more going on than the usual drama. The head banging would scare the heck out of me (but, remember, I don't have the experience of the Warriors!). You've seen a big change in her social behavior and she has expressed concern about bipolar. I would lock up every credit card and valuable I owned and give her a short stay of execution about moving out. If she could see a new psychiatrist, that would be great. I would also require a certain amount of money from each paycheck (whatever amt you deem appropriate) until the debt is paid. Give her a deadline and a set of dealbreakers. I'm not sure you can use Pell grant funds for an apartment. I have a Pell grant and attend a community college. Their guidelines are very specific - you have to maintain a certain GPA, atttend full time and use the funds for two semesters. I don't know what they do ify ou go to part time or don't maintain the GPA (it's not very high), but I thought I'd mention it. I would not allow her to use Pell funds to pay debts if I were you. Hang in there. dash [/QUOTE]
