[quote=Anonymous]Tell her you cannot afford it and won't be paying for spring semester to go back to college. Tell her that if she independently enrolled in community college, you will pay that. Tell her that you will not pay for her phone or for any extras starting in February. Say it calmly. Then walk away. Mean it. Do not negotiate. Then honor your words. If you don't honor yourself, she will not honor you. From now on, consider yourself her advisor, not her caretaker. If she needs advise on how to do something herself, advise and encourage her. Do not do it for her. If she says she needs your money or help, tell her you believe in her, and will give her your best advise.[/quote]
