We are having such problems with my 24 yo, so I'm looking for any advice or help I can find.

			<link>http://drgreene.yuku.com/topic/573/t/Why-do-some-posts-seem-to-be-missing-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ About two weeks ago, a hacker took out the whole ezboard system. (Ezboard is where we house our discussion boards) In doing this all of our discussion board posts disappeared, which as you can imagine is very frustrating for all of us, as we had some very good information in here. The ezboard people have managed to restore some posts, but not all. So now we start again. We apologize for the frustration and confusion. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi, my daughter is 26, living 9 hours away from us. She has a really hard time holding on to jobs, usually the boss will say that she has attitude problems. I have sent her money for the last year when she needed it (which was often). Hubby said that we aren't doing her any good by paying her way, and I agree sort of.. <br>The problem is she is now getting evicted and I just don't have the money to help. I really hate to see her in pain. Her living with us is not an option unfortunately. I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi.  I am new to this forum.  I have a 21 year old daughter who has a number of issues resulting from her drug use as a teenager.  She is recovering but is still very dependent on her dad and me.  She is perpetually 'looking for a job' but rarely finds one.  When she does, she can't keep it because she likes to sleep too much and finds it very difficult to be on time.  I am paying for her to take some college classes which she barely passes.  I pay for the car insurance and the gas.  I have... ]]></description>

I need some advice about how to correctly handle a situation we have with our adult (23 years old) daughter.  <br><br>For as long as she's been an adult and even in her late teen years, she has had nothing but problems with money.

Needless to say that has failed miserably.  She's back... ]]></description>
