[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 120004, member: 84"] Barbara Honestly I'm not sure. We've been doing some discussing "growing up", "life dreams/goals", and "independence", but I can't say if that is what is motivating her or not. The above has been coming up in conversation alot. Like last week. We're waiting for class and Nichole says she hopes boyfriend's parents let them make the upstairs and apartment for spring. Of course that brought up the issues she has with his mother and how that just might not be a wise decision. lol But then she said she wanted to spread her wings and leave home. But that boyfriend is really dragging his feet about renting an apartment together. So I replied, "What do you need him for?" lol Then I explained to her that I'd like her to get a taste of independence BEFORE moving in with boyfriend, just to prove to herself she could do it. How many girls find themselves stuck in relationships simply because they are terrified of living alone and have never had the experience of independent living. We've been chatting about alot of little stuff like this. But then I also see a whole new level of frustration with boyfriend, too. And major changes in how she allows him to treat her/ how she reacts to his drama making. Or maybe it's just college maturing her, being around a whole new group of people some her own age/ many adults. Maybe doing well in college is boosting her self esteem/confidence. So I dunno. Maybe it's a combination of things. Whatever it is I'm hoping it's here to stay. [/QUOTE]
