[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 124438, member: 179"] One thing I've learned about these supposed adult-kids is that they are very [B]resourceful.[/B] (Gosh, it's late and I don't know if I'm spelling right. If you know how Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) I am...this will haunt me tonight. Ok...I'm going to dictionary.com. Didn't find anything there. Maybe I should invent another word. Geez...) Ok...on a side note, it took me 5 minutes to find the spelling of resourceful. I'm happy now and can sleep. Back to the point. These kids are very adept at making their own way under dire circumstances. They can be very crafty at the guilt thing, too. Oh...I don't have my cell phone. Too bad. Find some quarters to make your calls, or **** off your friends who will quickly get tired of you. You make the choice. What you have to decide is what is dire for you and what is dire for them. It can be quite different. If you can put up with an adult who comes and goes whenever they want, doesn't contribute to the household...then go for it. I could not. If's she's gone, I suspect it's not going to be for long. You have to decide whether your house is a home or a hotel. Give hugs and support...but don't enable. Sorry if this was a tough speech.:( Abbey [/QUOTE]
