[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 700286, member: 355"] You and I could be sisters, Lil! I did the same thing when we, as a family, did our big trip to Europe for 5 weeks. Everything was organized to the hilt. I knew travelling with 2 kids (12 and 8 at the time) and post-brain injured husband might get difficult. I've continued that high level planning all my life. I've fantasized about driving to the airport, picking a flight at random and just "going away". Like you, at my daughter's age I was married and had a baby on the way. Stayed at a job too long because I had 'history' there and they allowed me flex time when things got crazy with her (hospitalizations, appointments, court, etc.). When she went into temporary care, I was able to change jobs. We need to let them do their own planning (or flying by the seat of their pants, if that is what works for them). Daughter can find food and shelter - she just proved to me today that she can find work if required. Mine is having the adventure of her life...and I've spent too much time organizing and supporting it. Maybe it's time for you to finally throw a dart at the world map and have an adventure of your own! [/QUOTE]
