[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 172340, member: 84"] Jo Your concerns I think are normal. When easy child moved out I was worried she was making the biggest mistake of her life. Not only was she moving in with boyfriend (which I wasn't opposed to) but she was moving in with boyfriend's brother and his girlfriend who were not people she cared much for, nor especially liked. On top of it all, my future sister in law worked at Subway and Airborne, neither which brought in much money as both were part time. easy child was in college and working walmart, and worse yet......pregnant with Darrin. It had seemed a rash decision to me at the time. And I did ask her if she'd thought it all thru. She said yes, and I dropped the issue. I gritted my teeth and watched her move out. Even being a easy child, it was no bed of roses. Often they came here to eat, invited by me when I realized they didn't have much food as roommates kept claiming the lion's share. But I kept my nose out of their business. I know it was really hard, but didn't find out how hard til much later. They made it work because they had to. And they learned how because they had to. And all in all, despite some rather dumb mistakes along the way, they've done just fine. And I'm proud of both easy child and sister in law. When Nichole moves out I know I'll probably feel the same way. And in the long run she'll probably come out ok. Some people have to learn life lessons first hand. I was one of them. And like Janet said, I'm pretty sure I had a guardian angle looking out for me at times. Cuz I could get myself stuck in some mighty fine jams. But I learned, and I learned fast. And those lessons I've never forgotten. If you really feel strongly you can ask her one last time if she has thought it all the way thru. How far away she'll be, and how difficult that makes it for you to help support her in her decision. Maybe put that way she won't see it as an attack on her adultness or on MB. And you'll feel better trying to reach her one last time. If nothing else, it might make her think a bit harder about future decisions. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
