[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others have said, you give her ground rules for being at home, offer to help with rehab/therapy. If she cannot follow the ground rules and/or refuses rehab/therapy, she will need to plan next steps for her new living situation. You just need to be prepared that she will likely move in with her boyfriend and crash her life for awhile until and unless she figures it out on her own. You can't save her, and what you are doing now is enabling and unsustainable long term. [/quote] pp here again. FWIW, I have a DS with ADHD and some family members with various issues. My father (alcoholic and later self-diagnosed with significant ADHD- and there is no doubt) was enabled by his parents and later, some gullible women. He would have benefited from the right kind of help an the right kind of "tough love" much earlier in life. [/quote]
