[quote=Anonymous]You need to get her out of your house. Pay her to leave if you need to. Seriously it will be well worth the $$$. Give her $10k for rent and a kiss goodbye. If she wants to recover from her late adolescence and become a functional, non-terrible adult, you will welcome her for holidays with open arms. If you continue to house and feed and clothe and therapy her even though she is an adult with a degree and a job, how could she not be depressed? The only way for her to feel good is to stand on her own two feet. That doesn’t mean you need to cut her off completely, but you need to get her out of your house and she needs to manage her own affairs. If you’re going to help her, give her a fixed amount every six months (if she has never managed her own money, I would start with the $10k so she can find an apartment and do the deposit, etc). Otherwise she is on her own. This is not exactly tough love, but it is a step in the right direction. [/quote]
