    My 22 year old daughter hates me
    I have a 22 year old daughter that hates me. She was asked to move out of our home after she was repeatedly disrespectful and rude. She is dating a guy who is no good for her. He is 19 and a high school drop out. She lies continually about her family. She sells the gifts that I have given her. It really hurts. What is a mom to do?

    At 22, you have to let her make her own mistakes. If she is disrespectful in the home - then you did the right thing by telling her it was time to move. As for her boyfriend, well, I think we have all dated someone who is wrong for us. She will figure that out on her own.
    And the gifts - I could see where that would be hurtful. From now on, you could just get her giftcards and let her do what she wants with them. I mean, if she is going to just get rid of something that you put a lot of thought into - then why bother, right?

    Once she moves out, you can love and support her as best you can. She will see that having her own place and what it takes to make it run - isn't as easy as you make it look. One of these days you will get a phone call or letter telling you that she is sorry for the way she treated you.

    You have to allow her to walk her own path, hopefully her path won't lead her past the point of no return ex: jail, disease, drug addiction, or worse. Just trust in what you have taught her and when she reaches a point where everything is clear what you have taught her will come into play. She won't listen to you at this point. In her eyes you don't understand her. Don't carry her anymore let her walk on her own. Put her out.
