[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 317677, member: 59"] Hi Nomad by the way Lisa, great advice. Nomad I'm not sure I have any better advice but I will tell you how I would have felt. I agree with your husband that the social worker should have talked to him in private instead of in front of difficult child. I know my difficult child would have taken that as permisssion. I also think that in theory the social worker is right, that she is 21 and can't be protected forever, but that he should have known how your daughter would take that coming in front of her father. I applaud your husband for his involvement with her in helping her become independant and wanting to protect her. She obviously needs help in this area and he is going above and beyond. I am not overly impressed with much of the advice any of the social workers have given us in the past, so perhaps that is reflected in my reply, but he didn't do much in helping your daughter get the job or modify her behavior to stay in the apartment. So if his only advice is to let her sink or swim by herself, why do you need him? I don't know if I helped or just proved that I am an enabler too. All I know is that with all the couselors and therapsist we have seen over the years, Not one has had much of an impact so I take their advice with a grain of salt. Nancy [/QUOTE]
