DD, as many have said what you're doing is no doubt hard, but it's necessary. My mom told me at an early age that at age 18, I'm out of the house (unless I'm going to a local college, then I'd have to pay rent to live at home) and if I ever got into any trouble with the law then I'm on my own. She told me I wouldn't get any bail, gifts, packages, money. She also told me not to call her.
I accepted it and I knew she wasn't joking.
