[QUOTE="Landshark, post: 629449, member: 18066"] Just an update. Daughter is still job hunting with no luck yet. But she now says "when" not "if" she gets a job.... Since boyfriend has moved out and counseling has started, as has Prozac, I am seeing a change. She sounds better, looks better, is better at little social interactions (like stopping for coffee and responding to clerk). I have taken some advice from this forum. Instead of doing her laundry, I drop her off at the laundromat with change and I pick her up at my convenience. It's a little thing but for me it is a start. I am a major controller. She has mentioned that it is hard to live alone, quiet without TV and internet, and in the past I would have tried to help her by paying for cable. Now I just agree that it must be a little boring, why not write or read? She has no friends, having been happy in her isolation for the past couple of years. Now how do I stop worrying about the future? How long do I help her out financially, as long as I am sure she is looking for work? I know there are no answers.... [/QUOTE]
