The sad thing is that she does so much of this to herself. Her Dad was killed in a motorcycle accident when they were little and my brother and their Mom got married maybe within a year or so of it happening. Their Mom sued the guy that killed her H and so the girls both had a trust fund. (my younger neice is the one whoi is in remission from cancer)
Anyway, she got a hold of 30,000 of the trust fund money last year and blew through it in 6 months. She quit college, quit her job, had her mom co-sign the lease for her apartment but then she moved out. Then had her Mom co-sign the lease on the house she was living in with her boyfriend and of course that has become a disaster.
What she needs is a strong parental figure I believe. Her Mom spoils both the girls rotten and won't let my brother have a say in raising them. They are both messed up. My nephew is the only kid that has it together and he is only 13. I feel so bad that this has happened but don't know what to do with them in Alabama and myself in Kansas.
I would say send her to me but without my being there as much as she would need, I don't see that working. Can't expect my kids to straighten out their own cousin. She is still on watch right now. She swallowed a bunch of pills thinking they would just knock her out but instead they caused he a bunch of pain.
