[quote=Anonymous]OP, I like the way you’re thinking about this problem. I also like that you are open to family therapy and to including your daughter as a co-equal part of the conversation. My gentle suggestion would be that any conversation about limits/boundaries be specific and near term. I would not recommend vague statements about behavior that may be tied to some significant financial impact and an indeterminate point in the future. She will probably doubt your sincerity about following through and may not have the self control to tie present actions to distant future consequences. Start you conversation about the here and now and what you expect around gratitude and current consequences. For you I recommend individual work around setting boundaries. You might read Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend or try individual therapy around this subject.[/quote]
