[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 617094, member: 4152"] RE...right now, I would not say she is indp. enough to take care of herself alone. It is possible, that by the time we move, especially if we have some systems in place, it might be ok. I'm not too sure and sometimes it worries me.I don't think husband cares. We will be nearly four hours away and he's very good with this idea. It just doesn't concern him...when he hit 60, he said "that's enough," and I very much understand this. I suggested we help her with a place about an hour away from us when we move, so should a major blow up happen due to her impulsiveness and insane decisions occurs,we can chose if we wish to intervene and if we do intervene, it would be easier on US! He's concerned that if she is only one hour away, she will stop by rather frequently. After behaving fairly well,for a few weeks, with the exception of dumping us on her promise to take down the Xmas tree, but then immediately apologizing and saying she got the the lesson, when husband dumped her about driving her somewhere and she had to take a super early bus, she showed up on our front step the following morning (a friend drove her...I think he has a min wage job) and started begging and crying for $5 to buy cigarettes.im confused, since she said she couldn't borrow $5 from this friend. husband said "no way!" If you knew you needed cigs, you should of took the work offered to you, you should quit or cut back anyway, and screaming in front of my house (anytime...but early morning somehow seems worse) is totally inappropriate and slammed the door in her face. What a lovely way to start the day! #}*+. (Proud of him though) Yep..the subject of when we move, and her ability to care for herself, is a little confusing at the moment, but I think it will be ok. We are trying hard to help her make better choices and all that, stopping the enabling etc., but with MI...? [/QUOTE]
