[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633838, member: 1550"] Janet ;) You have a special relationship with all your boys. That is very clear. I believe they'd all lay down their lives for you. Esri, not only does your other daughter need you, YOU need to be happy...YOU need you. We are not supposed to mother our grown adult children forever...they don't like being treated like they are younger than they are. We all have to learn to let them grow up. "Give them roots to grow and wings to fly." Growing up is a learning curb and often what we3 wish for our adult children is not their desire. Many times they make bad mistakes and we can't save them...we can only hope they stop being dangerous. It isn't up to you to determine if she is being responsible. Obviously, none of us would find her responsible, but we don't know what's in her head, what her activities are (you don't either) and if it makes sense to her. I'm sure it does. difficult children tend to go off the rails and do unconventional and sometimes even reject societal norms for their own normal. You can't change what she does. in my opinion it's best for you to learn how to back away and go on with your own life. You have no control over your daughter...you may not like her path, but you can't change it. She may not want to better herself in the way of your definition and in my opinion that's ok. She needs to find her own way of being happy and fulfilled, not your way. I mean, all our difficult children need that...their own paths, not ours. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
