[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 675741, member: 1550"] Copa, sure. We do what we can. But some of us don't have the means to even try this. I did not and yet my daughter did quit. I don't know this poster well...and just wanted to let her know that even if we don't provide elite programs in other countries, our adult children do quit...but it is on their timeline. I don't think my daughter would have quit a day earlier than she wanted to no matter where she was sent. And she was young too. She chose to quit at nineteen.She was using in her teens too. If you have the money, go for it! I have no problem with that. I just don't think it is necessary as we have given them a strong foundation that they are choosing to ignore. Why should they listen to anyone else? My daughter came back to her upbringing when she was ready to give up her lifestyle and not a moment sooner. We have spoken about it a lot. Many, many parents DO give up all of their savings to try to help an adult child who isn't ready to quit and never does. It appears this poster does have the means. D C, wow, I would not feel good about my grown kids needing to live off of me!!! Sorry about your siblings. I have had problems with two of my adult children, but both grew up and are now totally self-sufficient. Isn't that what we want? I don't know if everyone does though. JMO. Hope you find the right solution for you ;) [/QUOTE]
