My daughter is 19 going to be 20 years old soon. She is currently not working and not seeking employment. She is bipolar and not actively seeking treatment. She can’t hold a job for more than 3 weeks. She was unemployed from April-October this year because nobody would hire her. Here she is again unemployed. She is currently on our car insurance for my old car (2013 Lexus). She HATES driving. She didn’t get her license until earlier this year. We live in a region where you need to drive to get anywhere. Rural suburbs. Public transport doesn’t come out this far. She paid her insurance twice this year. It’s $150 extra a month. The rest of the time we paid for her and she neglected to give us the money. Her bank account has been overdrawn several times to manic spending which I’ve also had to pay for that as well. Her car literally just sits out there. It’s winter here and the car won’t start now because the battery is dead, probably because it hadn’t been used in about a month. I’m wondering if I should pay for the battery to get fixed and transfer the title and she can find her own insurance or completely sell the car all together. I don’t know if after the first of the year (when her health insurance kicks in) if she’s going to actually get help for her mental issues (she said she will but a lot of things are just lip service with her) or just continue to sit around my house. I know she can’t hold a job for very long and refuses to go to school. I am a nurse practitioner and I’m very busy at the moment, I don’t have time to constantly hover over her. My husband is busy with his job as well. My husband thinks she has the mentality of a 12 year old and is very incapable of acting like an adult. She screams and throws tantrums like a toddler over any little thing. She said she doesn’t understand basic finances or anything adult related things even though I’ve gone over this with several times, she never listens.
