What is the saying "house guest are like fish, both start to stink in about a week."

Just trying to put a bit of humor in your situation. You are in a tough spot. Trying to help your daughter out yet trying to survive yourself. Have you considered CODA (Co-dependents Anonymous)? They can teach you some great skills to deal with your current situation. Good luck and keep us posted on how things work out.
