[quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t sound like she’s gotten enough professional support. For example, have you ever hired an executive function coach for her?

I think she might need, at a minimum, and intensive outpatient program that she would go to for several hours a day where her drinking and other issues could be addressed.

I would not pay for anything other than her basic food needs and health insurance. Meaning, she can eat the food that’s in the refrigerator, but hell no don’t pay for her Uber eats or anything like that I would not pay for her phone. Do not let her drive your car. I will keep her on the car insurance just in case she sneaks a drive, however. But basically, you need to cover very few of her expenses. Basically cover anything that could potentially lead to liability for you guys like health insurance or car insurance. Because I’m sure if she gets cancer, you’re not gonna let her just die. It probably does not cost her anything to keep her on the health insurance until age 26.

But do not pay for her toiletries, her clothing, car, gas, phone, social activities, etc.

She might be best off, going to community college and taking one or two classes and getting her degree slowly.[/quote]
