What would you do, if you had homeschooled your child their whole life. Kept them locked away out of protectiveness from the world and her own family.

They get a scholarship to have free college, wasted almost all of it due to mental health and generally not knowing wtf to do. Then, manage to get another smaller scholarship.

But, by that time, you find out that all she does all day is sleep and drink in her room. No job anymore due to physical disability, no life.
You knew she never had any friends, no relationship, nothing. She comes out of her room rarely ,completely disheveled only to get water and barely any food. Shes losing weight and you can tell. Her room is disgusting if you go in to look, which you havent in months. Its been this way on and off for years, but now its worse than usual.

And now, in her early 20s, you know shes going back to college in a couple months but in this state, what do you think??
What would you do? Do you kick her out? Do you yell at her? What happens now?
Do you share some level of responsibility? Would it even matter? Is it too late? How could you help her….
