She is a child and where she goes and what she does is your decision until she moves out.
I bet if I said 18 year olds shouldn't be allowed to vote most people would disagree with me though.

There is a ton of nuance to that statement. If your kid wants to jump out of a plane without a parachute, do you let the make that mistake? No because its a mistake they wont recover from.
If they are bent on committing suicide and they are an adult outside of trying to get some intervention from the authorities you would be incapable of stopping them without physically intervening. It doesn't matter who is paying the bills, if they are an adult they are free to make decisions on their own. You can beg, plead, cuss, threaten....but at the end of the day they are free to do what they damn well please and your only recourse is to cut them off financially and emotionally if you are capable of doing so.

if she’s eighteen and dependent on me, I am the dictator
I agree completely but one best be prepared to act like a dictator because the power one holds in this scenario is only that which the dictated is willing to accept, unless of course the dictator is willing to physically enforce their will upon the dictated. If she balks at this use of power over her, and she most likely will, you have to be willing to follow through with your dictatorial powers...and accept the fall out. It is likely to cause a SERIOUS rift in your relationship with her....if you are willing to accept that do it. If you find 10 years from now that her husband and there 2 kids never call or come around you made your point...she has become completely independent of you. You have accomplished your goal whether you intended to lose her and your grandkids for life or not.

are you this fricking stupid? Are you saying the majority of 20-29 year olds in the US aren't financially independent?
Good morning.

You can’t stop what’s coming.
Or what’s cumming.

Is she financially dependent on you?

I'm sure this dilemma has passed by you now. And my apologies for the delayed response, but it seems now is the time to come to an agreement with her, before the next situation.
Perhaps something like this? In life, unfortunately, money is power. I have worked hard to support myself, and you. I've done my best to make the best decisions to support this goal. I've invested a lot in you, because I care about you more than anything else. If you need my continued investment, we're going to have some agreements on what's the best things for you life right now, that will help you become independent...
I wish you the best, tough times for parents seeing their kids begin to leave, and tough on the kid being in that limbo kid/adult stage.

I gave in. He can stay here but not her there. Cooked him his first plate of jambalaya. Boy had never had it before. It’s all good. He disappeared for an hour a came back with what they are calling a “boo box”. Had flowers her favorite candy and a freaking David Yurman bracelet. Obviously his mom’s idea. It is what it is.
