[quote=Anonymous]Overall it sounds Op like a mess. She has been able to manipulate you since she was young. Her intentions likely back then weren't 'bad' - they were just to get her needs met in a conflict filled family yet that way of getting her needs met became a pattern. She has no motivation and doesn't seem invested or engaged in anything but cheer. It doesn't sound like she has had a lot of responsibility and had to deal with the natural consequences of that. It also doesn't really sound like college is a good fit right now. It might be an idea to have her leave college and work for a year. Get her on her feet as an adult - making money and understanding the responsibility that comes with a job and with paying your own bills. It might help her see why getting a degree could benefit her and maybe the year would give her more maturity to figure out what she might be interested in. I would absolutely not keep doing what you are doing. [/quote]
