D17: "I can't stand any of you and can't wait to get out of this house"

Tell her to enjoy being a prostitute.

Because that's what 17/18 yo women do when they leave home without a plan, money, or ideas.

They have sex with strangers, for money.

+1. I was a nasty nasty B at that age. Once those raging hormones settled it was all good. I am extremely close with my parents

• Then locate the main electrical panel and flip the main circuit breakers.
• Then call your landline telephone service provider and have the phones cut off for about a week and if the D17 has a cell phone on your plan then contact your cell phone provider and have them cut that off too.
• Call a locksmith and change the keys to the house.
• Get a club and put that on D17's steering wheel.
• Then get a hotel room for about 4/5 days and disappear without a word.

See how D17 likes it.

Not a bad idea. Seriously.

I don't think that "I'm paying, so you have to do what I say or else" is necessarily the best way to approach a 17-year-old with whom you'd like to have a good relationship in the long term.
