[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 21386, member: 2389"] I have just read all the post and Sue you seem to be on a terrible ride. I wonder how husband would respond if you asked him what he hopes Melissa will have for a future? Does he dream of her marrying ~ If she is still throwing tantrums of a 2 yr old at age 21, I don't think that will happen. Does he dream of a career ~ if she puts all the responsibilty of life on the two of you she will never acheive that. Being an outsider and looking in to what you have shared with us, Melissa is being allowed to not grow-up. This is very sad because she has her whole future ahead of her, but she will never see any of it for herself as long as her parents are allowing her to continue on the path she is taking. It seems like husband is trying to sheild her from reality, because reality is life is hard. To acheive any satisfaction from life one must fall down and learn life lessons. Everyone will fall, it is what we chose to do with our life lessons that makes us who we are. Part of love is letting go. We all want to shelter our children from pain and disappointment, but in love we let them go, so that they will mature and grow and be able to experience life for themseles. [/QUOTE]
