[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. No, we NEVER gave her permission to use our credit card. We weren't even aware that she knew the CC number until now, but apparently she wrote down my CC number when she was back home from winter break last year without me noticing. See how much of a sneaky, entitled person she is?

Re: college. She was an English major at a SLAC known for entitled, whiny students (similar to Oberlin/Wesleyan). She started off as pre-med/Bio at an HYPS school, but she left the school after her freshman year due to "mental health issues" (which I now realize are just depression and loneliness due to how insufferable she is to be around). She took 1 year off of college back in 2021 and then transferred to this progressive SLAC (similar in rankings/political reputation to an Oberlin/Vassar type school) because she wanted to "pursue her creative ambitions."

She lives with a college friend in a different part of the country, and pays $600/month in rent. She Venmo'd the person $3k from MY bank account (the audacity!) because she wanted to "front-load" rent for January-May. Insane.

She wants to use the extra $1k for Delta plane tickets to visit her FRIEND's FAMILY (not us, but her roommate's parents!) over winter break because "she never wants to see us again." This is despite the fact that she's 23 and on our health insurance and phone plan. Insane. [/quote]

Thank you for answering, that helps paint a more detailed picture, and I think I remember another post from you about the challenges you’ve been having — and ultimately, that your DD is struggling with. Cumulatively, it sounds incredibly stressful, and I’m sure by now you’re at your wit’s end.

If you haven’t yet spoken with an individual therapist for yourself, it might be worth considering a few sessions, given your daughter’s current behavior. While it sounds like you have a plan for dealing with this latest issue, a therapist can be a strong resource and support for yourself, and potentially make some recommendations for communicating your limits (even more) clearly and firmly with DD.

Best to you.[/quote]
