[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 516706, member: 13882"] It doesn't seem like she has a cushion of "rainy day" money. Gas prices, food, dog food, etc. are so high right now, add to that car insurance, then "party" items like pot & alcohol - OMG! where is the money going to come from? Do you know anything about the guy she's living with? Is he working? It just doesn't make sense on so many levels. I think maybe the walls are going to close in on her very soon, and she's going to have to reconsider her attempt at "living in the real world." I understand and empathize with her wanting, on the most basic level, to live an independent, grown-up life. She is successfully working right now. She's not just bumming around, being lazy and unmotivated. I'm certain she doesn't want to disappoint you or husband, and she wants to leave the communication door open. She is not lost. But why do they have "magical thinking" - you know, "I can drink and smoke pot on occasion, nothing bad happened." She has so many of the criteria for successfully putting her life together, but then she stops all access to sober living. Maybe husband can talk some sense into her on Saturday. I hope she would be receptive. [/QUOTE]
