[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 317667, member: 84"] Nomad I think husband is making a valid point. Even more so if you're thinking it's possible that difficult child is delayed on an emotional/mental level. I know it was important for therapist to point out this behavior to husband.......but it should have been done without difficult child present. Just a couple of years ago, Travis would've taken the situation as he could do as he pleased ect.....with probably the same sort of result. But you're right. You can't over protect her forever. Somehow she's got to learn, even if it means being homeless for a short period of time. It's hard to let them learn that way for most parents. I think men even more so when it comes to daughters cuz they are geared from a young age to protect them. If husband is where you were not long ago......more time and he'll probably catch up to where you are now. It seems to take guys longer for this sort of thing. Sounds like the working was really bringing out the best in her overall. I know it does with Travis. When not working he rapidly falls backward into old behavior. But while working does very well on maturity level ect. I hope she's able to find a new job soon, and something that is a good fit. Hugs [/QUOTE]
