[QUOTE="Landshark, post: 628489, member: 18066"] thank you DammitJanet! Today was a good day. I picked her up (yes, my only ''child'', almost 33 yrs old) to take her to her interview. She looked nice, made a pretty nice outfit from all the black that makes up her wardrobe. She has really let herself go in the past year and a half and it was nice to see her looking good! And she was in an upbeat mood, which I attribute to Prozac (and departure of lithium-pot smoking-genderbending boyfriend, but really mostly the prozac). She had also cleaned her apartment thoroughly, looked completely different than a week ago. I know these are externals and the most important part is her internal issues, but still it gave me a good feeling. The interview went well and she will know in a week; I encouraged her to keep applying. Her spotty and unusual work history is making her job search pretty tough. A little background...she read Tarot cards in New Orleans on the square for years...did okay, but then drifted into homelessness with a boyfriend. That makes my heart ache, I can truly say I feel my heart breaking in my chest to think of her sleeping on the streets. Maybe that is what fuels my resistance to detaching. I can afford to help her a little, but not forever. I think she wants to be independent, she wants to make an life for herself. I just don't know if she has the tools. She tells me she is going to make an effort to get out and meet new people; she has become quite isolated in the last year and a half. Me, I'm gonna pray a whole lot. [/QUOTE]
