Wow. You should probably get some help first. Then consult a proffessional... you are okay tho, right? I mean... if you're in trouble someone should do something immediately.

Well, while your relationship with your daughter is important, you have to take care of yourself before you can begin to repair the relationship you have with her. If she hates you for that, then that is her problem, not yours. Just my thought.

You pay her a hundred bucks a week and she thinks she's spoiled? Yeah, I don't get this question, but if she's threatening you or not doing her job... fire her. That is how the real world works.

Take of care of YOU. Fire her, get yourself together, and see about maybe some kind of family counseling or other professional help to fix the problems in the family.

It may sound harsh but it seems like you have already lost your daughter. You need to take care of yourself and she needs to grow up. If you are lucky maybe someday she will see what she has done and be sorry but in the meantime you need to put yourself first. And good luck.

That is truly a tough one! I feel for you and send a hug. Hmmm... you need to take care of you! I understand your daughter feels she is the one in control but no matter what age she is she will always be the daughter. If she has moved out then she can obviously take care of herself and will probaly learn life the hard way judging from how you have describe your situation. I would tell her how you feel and what you will do to take care of you making sure she undestands what that involves and even though she will be angry tell her you love her! hope this helps. take care...

You obviously NEED the help, if she is not willing to do the job she is paid for...then I would report her and have them find someone that will truly help you.

You deserve to be taken care of...

By firing her you will be teaching her something she didn't learn as a child/young adult... Nothing in life is free. There are consequences to the choice she made.

It's going to be hard on your relationship with your daughter but there will be no relationship for the two of you to mend if you pass away.
You must take care of yourself first.

Just my opinion.

Since you can't take care of yourself and she isn't taking care of you I'm thinking you should fire her and move into a home, or get professional care. Maybe send your daughter here for a week and I can try to straighten her out!
