[QUOTE="Andy, post: 253518, member: 5096"] I am very happy that your meeting was "successful". Your SO is a great partner and I am sure his background experience is also a strength to you. I am glad the kids used the money for the room - I would have been tempted to drive over and pay in person. You are handling this beautifully and sharing with us will help if/when we ever are in that situation (some are). Not giving her expectations is awesome. If you did, she would make it your responsibility for them to come true for her. She has to find within herself what life means to her and how she truly wants to live it. Then it is up to her to do the work to achieve that. You have a lot of wisdom when it comes to your daughter. Some day, she may grow up enough to realize that she can be more than she is today. You are keeping that door open for her to return to you when she is ready to move up to that dream. Let us know how things progress. I hope you get that one on one visit with her. I think it would be appropriate to call her and invite her to brunch just the two of you tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
