My id says it all. I’m scared. Have 20 yr old daughter who has attended local jr college, first year free on sport scholarship, decided to move home attend local center for fall classes, then switch to expensive 4-yr for spring semester. She dropped or failed all fall classes and we just found out failed all spring classes.
She is facing a tremendous about of debt right now.
Any ideas from other parents?

Money is not the only issue. She met a boy who lives 6 hours away and only lives to talk on the phone to him. Or, travel by train to see him. It’s like an obsession.
She is working ( close to being fired due to missing work) and living at home, but I am at a loss at how to address these problems. She is no longer a child, but acting like one.
I’m very upset, so please forgive grammar mistakes.
I can’t seem to find any posts that deal with this. Can anyone please help me?
