[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 595224, member: 14865"] Omg...I thought I was the only parent whose difficult child announced her "engagement" on FB. I did not handle it as smoothly as you did, however. I called her and told her how ridiculous it was, and we had it out. Your difficult child sounds a lot like mine-my difficult child is just out of high school, was adopted as an infant and provided a wonderful life, was diagnosis ADD then bipolar, and has chased after loser boyfriend for over 2 years. She followed him to a city 6 hours away and clings to him like a vine. I post about her on here periodically and the affirmation from everyone is like therapy for me-this is one place where everyone can relate. My difficult child was living with boyfriend in his step mom's home as a guest, but stepmom kicked her out in February and she has been living in an extended stay hotel ever since. boyfriend of course moved there too, and pays it for her bc he has no car and codepends on difficult child for her car. They scrape by bc we do not support this foolish arrangement. difficult child passed 1 class at the community college and cannot hold a job past a month- doesn't really want to work so does not put effort into looking for one. Loser boyfriend has manual labor job which is honest work, but he certainly can't afford this girl who cannot handle $ and wants a pampered lifestyle. Both only have high school education. He can't pay his phone bill but bought her some dinky ring Valentine's day so she proclaimed her status as "engaged" on FB. I had to inbox the relatives on FB and tell them it was just her silly fantasy. It is peaceful having her hours away so Husband and I just detach while coverng her BiPolar (BP) medications and health concerns, car insurance, and phone. This keeps her out of our hair while she wastes her life with loser boyfriend (who has a chip on his shoulder and won't have anything to do with us). Don't know what drama is ahead but for now, we have peace most of the time. I gave this over to the good Lord long ago. [/QUOTE]
