trouble with daughter


Question Posted Saturday October 23 2004, 6:24 am

My 21 year old daughter had to move back home, because her roomate moved out to go to college. My daughter couldn't afford the rent on her own, so she had to move in with us. She got a job working as a cocktail waitress in a real dumpy bar, now she has started dating a "regular" from the dumpy bar, and he is a 23 year old drug(meth) dealer. I have pleaded with her not to go out with this loser, to no avail. Question: Should we throw her out and risk her moving in with the new boyfriend or try to put up with it, in hopes that she will see the light and dump him. She says she really likes him. As far as I know she is not using meth, but does smoke pot.

Sincerely,

I would consider try to put up with it - the risks of her doing something worse should she be pushed out are too high. If you know she smokes pot, you might try to apply some pressure against that as further leverage in the situation. Does she have any prospects on a better job?
