[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 350597, member: 47"] Lisa, maybe the best thing to do is keep communication open, a helpng hand extended and let her play this out herself. Working out theories on what must be happening will only serve to push her further away and make you totally nuts. She may be tired of playing house with the boyfriend - she may have needed a change and just jumped off the life raft and onto the nearest passing ship (and from my own 20 something difficult child days, it was usually the Titanic that was passing by during times of desperation). It took some time to have reality hit but I always managed to find another life raft and get off. And for what it is worth - at times when my mother was working up her theories on what I was actually doing with my life - and she had NO clue as she was over 3,000+ mile away, one of my difficult child tatics was to tell her what she was imagining was 100% right, just to get her to shut up and go away and leave me alone as I had stuff to figure out on my own. You raised her to be independent and self sufficient - I don't thiink she has figured out the right way to get from Point A to Point B quite yet and like most difficult child's, do it half a##ed backwards at first Hugs Marcie [/QUOTE]
