[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had a similar situation as your daughter.  When I was 21 my parents paid for an apartment for me during my senior year of college and my BF moved in, but I was too ashamed to tell my parents he was living there.  He went out regularly without me doing who knows what.  We eloped at the end of my senior year and he continued to mooch off me for the next 10 years until we finally got a divorce, and now I pay him child support for the 20% custody that he gets with our one child.  I was so young and so naïve.   I don't know what my parents could have done differently other than they could have been wise counselors who I could come to with my troubles.  I really needed help at that time, less with money than with making better life decisions.  I needed to feel like I could trust them, especially as the marriage got worse, but I never could.  The money stuff all worked itself out (I have a mid-six figures income now) but the other problems from that relationship and marriage caused me so much emotional turmoil that I'm still dealing with it to this day.
