[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 582333, member: 13204"] Nancy, I am so glad that she took some responsibility and tried to work on the bills. She is putting in an effort. I will let you in on a little secret, I had no idea how to balance a checkbook until I was married. My mom paid the bills, and I was never involved with that. It was all private. I still have no idea how much money my parents made/make. When I went to college, my parents helped me set up a savings acct with a debit card. No checking. And, I am still terrible with a checkbook. I know your difficult child has other "issues" but does she have any social anxiety? I do, and so does difficult child. Hers is far worse than mine. She has a difficult time even ordering her own food at a restaurant. And, if she needs a to go box? Forget it. She tries, but it takes everything she has to ask. Mine is more on the phone. I have a really hard time making phone calls and asking about things. I can stand in front of a group of people and talk all about what I do, but hand me a phone and I sound like a big doofus. Regardless of what is happening, I am so happy that she is doing well, and taking steps forward. [/QUOTE]
