[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 125840, member: 3353"] I agree with Fran. To her comments, I would add that this may be difficult child's opportunity to blossom, step by step, into independent adulthood. Let her work out the details of transportation and anything else that needs to be tended to. If she should ask you for a ride or a car or some other concrete thing, then you can think how to respond. Think how you would feel if your parents revealed private information to a potential employer. Whether you were offered the job or not, you would feel trapped in some old, unreliable identity ~ or worse, you might feel that your parents knew best and you truly were not equipped to make it in the world. Believe in difficult child now so she can believe in herself. If things don't work out, there will be time enough to figure out what to do then. I know you are worried about her, Nomad ~ but I think she needs to try her wings on a clear field. Believe in her, celebrate these changes with her, pray that all goes well, and let her try.
