[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 720906, member: 20727"] Actually hubby has contacted her mom to thank her for loving and raising her etc. when he couldn't. When hubby suggested she seems depressed lately and wondering if that was a normal for her or if the current situation was to blame. mom said "it's nothing new, she gets that way sometimes just to get attention, there's nothing wrong with her. We took her to our pastor years ago and he said it was normal adopted behaviors". To me depression is not an act for attention. And if she's truly "playing" depressed for attention that's a whole different problem. Either way she's definitely got some issues she needs to work out. As far as living with us I'd never be able to say no. I know it's not smart etc. but I'm hard wired to try to save the world one person at a time.....I can't help it. I don't think it's even crossed her mind. She's way to focused on her biomom and that side of that family. Honestly if she did it wouldn't last long anyway. Depressed or not We would NOT put up with a 22 year old women doing nothing with her life. Hubby and I are not the enabling type at all. [/QUOTE]
