[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 733506, member: 1967"] Someone on the board once told me that I was infantilizing my daughter when my husband and I kept paying her rent and taking care of all of her financial needs. I resented it at the time because I was still so enmeshed in the mother/child role and was convinced that I was actually helping her. It wasn't until therapy helped me set boundaries and learn to expect her to start acting like an adult that she finally did. So holding onto the mother/child role doesn't help anyone . . . mother or "child". ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
