[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have complete control even if she is 18. You are paying for college tuition next year, right? That can be contingent on grades, behavior, participating in therapy, communication with you, etc. 
I have no idea why parents think they have no power over 18 year olds and yet obligations to pay for iPhones, provide a residence, tuition, etc.

Real adults pay their own way 100%. 18 is just a number.[/quote]

I would like to hear from the DD. OP seems like a helpless and ineffective parent.  Kids don't start misbehaving because they turn 18.  She did not turn bad from being good overnight contrary to what OP claims. [/quote]

Ehh. She's having sex with a 21yo now. She might think he's the love of her life and her mom is getting in the way. If he's her first, sex can be a powerful bond. Also, she might not care about college if that means being away from her guy and/or he's not supportive of her going away. If she's lived a pretty sheltered life, she's probably sprung right now.

Hopefully, nothing traumatic has occurred that she's not processing well.[/quote]
