[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Look, the situation is what it is. She has 30k she can decide what to do with. The rest is up to her. That’s not going to change unless she gets a scholarship.

Mostly, I want to know what to say to her to get her to stop lashing out at her step siblings and my H. I’ve tried talking to her and get nowhere.[/quote]

You’re a cold witch . Mommy got what she want. Now inconvenient DD needs to stop making mommy’s new life uncomfortable.  The lack of empathy is stunning. [/quote]

OP - the only thing you can say is the truth. That FAFSA is based on the parents’ income. You and her father do not have money to pay for college and you married people who don’t want to pay for her college. She is understandable distraught that your choices and her father’s choices have left her in a bad spot - she is not eligible for aid and she is not supported by her family. If your husband’s kids are a bit older, it was really short sighted that you didn’t think this through and delay marriage or discuss his financial contribution for college. Does he know she is upset? What does he have to say?

I think your daughter needs to work with a college counselor or someone more knowledgeable about student aid to help her navigate this. She can’t be the only kid in this situation. She also needs to make scholarship research and applications a full time job. [/quote]
