[about Mary] You know, she quit her job at the pool hall, she quit her job at Pete's Pizza. She doesn't have any friends. Well, not any good ones. She needs a job.
Yes, Mary needs a job, and money, and friends, good ones. But she has bills to pay. She also needs to take a job to pay those bills. And the job she takes probably won't be a job she loves or even likes. And then she'll see how important it is to have a job you love. And jobs people love usually involve training and/or education. That will force her to set goals and move forward
Are you just going to will her into this realization?
She's not on our schedule. We need to give her time. She'll realize it when she realizes it.
In the meantime, no job plus no money equals no car, right? I mean, if she can't pay for the car, she'll lose it.
So let her lose the car.
This isn't about losing Mary's car. This is about losing Mary!
You think I don't know that? You know, just because I'm not a minister or a therapist doesn't mean I don't know when she's in trouble. I'm her mother! And I think she needs to be the one to ask for help, and she's not ready yet!
Well, I'm her father, and I say she needs help now, whether she asks for it or not!
What you mean to say is that you're the expert, and what you say goes!
