I vaguely remember Dr. H talking about a son whose car was taken away as a young adult. I think you could still reach out to him as others suggested. I think you can love and support her without throwing privileges to the wind or rewards for no accomplishment. Our insurance agent recommended that we carry an umbrella policy to cover any events related to our young adult kids. He said that it would be tough to prove no responsibility for them if we have a history of supporting them in any way during their young adult years. Maybe it�s just a way to sell more insurance...

So sorry that this has happened, but better for her to learn now than later. If college time gets close, and she still isn�t ready, maybe you can help her defer her enrollment for a semester. It�s so frustrating when other parents facilitate situations like this!
