Your daughter knows she’s emotionally manipulating you. You do need to cut the ties. No more rescuing the animals call the humane society and report her. She needs the consequences. Tell the relatives you’re doing what’s in her best interest.

I guess that is what it is going to come down to. I've started to mentally prepare myself for that awful call from the authorities.
The only good thing is that we moved 4 states away from her so that Mommy can't come rescue her anymore. It's been a blessing because I'm not immediately available to mooch off of. the disasters still happen, but only once a month now, not every week.
I got a question: Is it bad if I stop answering her phone calls and insist she texts instead? That way I don't have to hear the screaming and crying tactics? Also, if I need to contact her, I always have to text and she never answers them for days, sometimes weeks if I ask again.
