[QUOTE="Fran, post: 449806, member: 3"] Kathy, congratulations for easy child's success. I know you are proud and relieved to see that your home put out good, independent, tax paying, law abiding adult into the world. Now if we can get our difficult child's to be law abiding, tax paying independent, good adults then we can stop holding our breath. My difficult child is doing ok and is living on his own but he is not able to be 100% independent. This doesn't refer to financially. I don't see that happening anytime soon but we are working on it. He still needs some input/cueing and planning from an outside source. I don't know if it will happen. I like the idea of insisting on AA meetings as a condition of living with you. It's a start for her to assume some control over where she ends up in the future. She has a lot of gifts and strengths that when she uses them allow her to be successful. Something is sabotaging her. Whether it is Borderline (BPD) or fear of success or inability to use her executive function ability to plan her own day, week, life is undecided but she has the "right stuff" to live a full and successful life.
