[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 352154"] Kathy...You do not have to keep her at your house and let steal from you. Honestly, keep saying to yourself the word "boundaries," "self esteem" or whatever word you need to remind yourself of your own rights in all this and that you need to also set an example of how each and every one of us has to take control of our actions. Just because your daughter feels really bad right now, doesn't excuse these behaviors. Sure, it might be harder for her to control impulses at the moment. This does not mean it is impossible. And it certainly doesn't explain stealing. She has to FIGHT to control her impulses. You have to FIGHT for your right for peace in your home and joy in your life. You need to be what you might be seeing as self-ish and let go. You need to take care of yourself. You both have to take control of the situation....it is cause and effect. How fortunate your daughter is that there are people in the world who are willing to help her (medical people). However, she will have to do the hard work. (See Going North's post). She is over 21. It is what it is. It is her job, NOT yours. Your job is done. Whether we like it or not, for the most part, we ARE our CHOICES. It is choice, not chance that determines our destiny. Again, I am so sorry. I know it is not easy ... a crummy part of life for us here on the PE forum especially. [/QUOTE]
