ED Asking for Money again, dilemmas, not sure how to repsond

This is a very sad and difficult situation for you. Unfortunately I think you are being used. As difficult as it is to do, I feel that the reply of "no, it's not possible for me to loan/give you money" is the one that needs to be given. No reason or excuse, just no.

Thank you for your wise, empathic reply. Only joined yesterday & already feeling stronger, more assertive as a result of the support. Wishing you the very best🙏

Thank you Granny for your wisdom & support. I’m so glad to have found this site. All the best to you ⭐️

Thank you Spinnaker. I sometimes forget that is an option. Wishing you the best🫶

Thank you for your post. So sorry to hear your experience. There is so much strength in knowing we’re not alone. Already feeling stronger, more assertive. Wishing you the very best🙏

Thank you Smileless2012. Sorry to hear your experience. It’s really helped sharing my situation, knowing that we’re not alone. Take care💐

If you were not estranged and if she was really struggling , I would suggest you lend her sone money, on an interest-free basis. …. Monthly repayments , all down in black and white..
I have done that with my children. I have even done that for a very, very good friend, who was struggling, and I’ve always had my money back.
They weren’t huge sums, by the way.

Libby You might find it helpful to post on the Support for those Estranged thread - have a look in the Estrangement Forum and you will find it. There hou will get understanding; general chat; and thoughtful constructive advice.

Re your daughter I also think the best thing to do is reply to her message with "No I cannot lend or gift you money. I hope you find a job soon" and leave it at that.
