I really want to help my daughter out but she is so stubborn. When Julie calls my phone every day and whines how she cannot pay her bills anymore it drives me crazy knowing that I cannot do anything to help her financial problems. So each day when she calls me I do what I am best at and give her alternatives. She didn’t listen to my advice for getting a job or moving in with me. I had a third option in mind. I looked up information on bankruptcy. I found all of the information I could get a hold of and mailed it to her without disclosing who sent it. So I waited and waited. A week went by without Julie calling me. When she finally called on a sunny Sunday morning I was up and ready to support whatever decision she would choose. Either it would be something along the lines of “Mom I knew it was you that sent me the letter and I don’t appreciate your butting in”, or something like “Mom I just got a letter about filing for bankruptcy and I think I am going to go ahead with it.” However, when I answered the phone all I could hear were muffled cries. She told me “I received a letter and I don’t want to file for bankruptcy. I want to at long last get a job and try to rebuild the life I once had.”
