She's my kid so I don't think I could ever let her completely crash and burn, but it will literally have to be a life or death situation for me to send her more money. I love her, but I don't like what she's become.
I respect what you’re doing but you absolutely let her crash and burn. That’s how you find out what you truly believe. It’s in the pain and trials that she will find out what beliefs she has works and what doesn’t. She will also find out what kind of friends she has. Look back at the prodigal son for this.
She made a life decision and now it’s time for her to stick by it. She’s a grown woman and it’s time for her to grow up and do what she has to do. I’m sure she thinks she can do anything man can do so now let’s see it. Skip the slice of humble pie and get served the whole damn thing.

She chose the hard road....you can love her, but not like her, that's quite alright, IMO.

I’d try to repair the relationship. This seems like a good opportunity. Push politics aside. If you’re religious, lean into it. Praying for you, brother. You don’t want to regret that relationship while on your deathbed.
1000%
Politics isn’t worth it.
Praying the OPs daughter has a bit of a prodigal son moment.

No person that is not self-delusional can rationalize an open Border wit subsidies to all comers. Why did she even study and work to access relative affluence when equality’ if income is the ultimate Leftist/anti-MAGA goal? Quote her the Winston Churchill saying about “if you are not a liberal when you are young you don’t have a heart and if you’re not a Conservative by middle age you don’t have a brain “. Albeit with the transformation tidal wave that will be coming via AI/Robotics/GeneEngineering/Quantum Mechanics and God only knows what else we all may be able to lift the weakest of our kind to unimaginable prosperity, if we can finesse the transition. Swords into plowshares as it were. Tell her you love her but the truth won’t let you change or deny said Truth. God speed and good luck.

If you do decide to keep supporting her financially, you should keep a running invoice of everything you've paid for since she turned 18.
She claims she doesn't need you or your support, but you can show her other wise.
Every time she asks for more money, send her the invoice along with the money and a new line item at the bottom each time.
She'll know that she's never truly as big, bad and independent as she thinks until she pays you back every dime.

Loving unconditionally in no way relates to financial support. She hurt your feelings and owes an apology for choosing to cut ties, you will never get it. She needs to be cut loose to go live her life based upon what she can do for herself. If ever the phone rings and she needs you then go and help her. If she asks for money the answer is no. Financial support is reserved for those you trust not to hurt you and not those you love. If she keeps hurting you then keep your distance but you can never quit loving your child.

My youngest daughter went through this stage. I blame the liberal influence from the Magnet Program Indoctrination ….err I mean education

This does not sound like a funny story, and actually sounds very sad.
My daughter too, was liberal at one time, although the more she matures the more she is leaning moderate, and fiscally conservative.
Do not give up on her and try and find a way to talk with her about accepting each other's political views and find common ground that y'all can move forward to nurture the relationship.
Good luck.

I have a daughter that I'm estranged from as well. Hardcore leftist, but too stupid to understand why. I still keep her on my health insurance because it doesn't cost me anything and it pays for her birth control. She's the type of person that we're all better off if she doesn't reproduce.

This thread makes me so grateful for having a son and not a daughter.
All young women have an ultimate fallback plan of having babies and collecting checks from both government and baby daddies. Even the uppity feminist ones have this wild card in their back pocket. I assure you she will not starve to death in a gutter. But she might still hit the female version of rock bottom.

Agree. Tell her that you love her regardless of her political views. If she wants to live her life without you and your help, that's her choice, but leave the door open for the prodigal daughter.
If she wants a relationship, you're going to expect respect. Make it clear that she's walking away, and you're not pushing.

Fast forward 2 weeks, and she received an email yesterday that she was let go from her job.
How did you find out about this? Seems like there should be more to this part of the story. Is your wife her mother? Are they talking?

Unfortunately she made her own bed.
I am going through the same shite with my 32 yo daughter but not quite as bad. She was big Trump supporter in the beginning and his first term. She moved to NYC and has basically disavowed all things southern and I see her morals changing in her posts. I do not even talk politics with her anymore and her likewise.
What makes me disappointed is that she is slowly becoming one of those liberal middle aged white woman that nobody can understand on here. She used to see eye to eye with me and the rest of my family and now she just dont get it.

What happens if the only option for her is your assistance or the streets? What would you do then?
