[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 407699, member: 59"] You described my difficult child and easy child perfectly. easy child went through the normal progression of seperating from us and becoming independent. difficult child's progress in that area is very delayed. The things my easy child was doing at 19 to manage her own life, difficult child would have no idea how to go about. A good example is that we encouraged easy child to get a credit card when she turned 18 and to manage it carefully, always paying the balance off, to establish credit. She was very responsible and never overspent and paid it as soon as she received her bill. Slowly she built up credit and got more credit until she was able to lease her own car this past year and has very good credit. I would never trust difficult child with a credit card and the ATM card she had to withdraw money from her job was overdrawn so many times I had to close it out. Nancy [/QUOTE]
