Tink this is tough!! Check with the school, library and Chamber of Commerce to see what is available to help her. It would help if she would start with her GED. She needs to be given responsiblility and until she is out of your house, give her a list of things that need done. Show her one time and let her do it. She needs to earn her keep. Maybe she could start with a part-time job.

I would think you and her could sit and have a woman to woman talk. I respect you so much Tink that I know you'll be able to aim her in the right direction.
