[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. No, we NEVER gave her permission to use our credit card. We weren't even aware that she knew the CC number until now, but apparently she wrote down my CC number when she was back home from winter break last year without me noticing. See how much of a sneaky, entitled person she is?

Re: college. She was an English major at a SLAC known for entitled, whiny students (similar to Oberlin/Wesleyan). She started off as pre-med/Bio at an HYPS school, but she left the school after her freshman year due to "mental health issues" (which I now realize are just depression and loneliness due to how insufferable she is to be around). She took 1 year off of college back in 2021 and then transferred to this progressive SLAC (similar in rankings/political reputation to an Oberlin/Vassar type school) because she wanted to "pursue her creative ambitions."

She lives with a college friend in a different part of the country, and pays $600/month in rent. She Venmo'd the person $3k from MY bank account (the audacity!) because she wanted to "front-load" rent for January-May. Insane.

She wants to use the extra $1k for Delta plane tickets to visit her FRIEND's FAMILY (not us, but her roommate's parents!) over winter break because "she never wants to see us again." This is despite the fact that she's 23 and on our health insurance and phone plan. Insane. [/quote]

Reading all the information you have shared about your 23yr. old daughter, I don't think the title suits her, "failure to launch". Obviously you both have a terrible relationship and to be honest she's so resentful (and so are you), that things might never work out between you two. 
I, personally, haven't spoken to my mother in over 10 years. After many tumultuous years, I finally broke "free", matured (around 25yr.) and moved on... and I'm at peace with that. I found a wonderful partner that respected me and loved me just the way I was then. He also made me realize I was NOT A FAILURE. 
We have been married for 10 years and have two wonderful sweet boys, who we share a wonderful relationship with... and no my mother is not part of our lives.

I broke the cycle and I hope your daughter one day (soon) does too.
