[QUOTE="Irene_J, post: 94353, member: 181"] I help my difficult child more than I would like to, and see it continuing for awhile. She attends community college and works part time and generally takes care of her expenses (cell phone, car, insurance). I pay for tuition and books. But she has Executive Function issues and I really don't think I could let her sink or swim now, even though she's 19. She depends on me to sort of interpret her world, not just for money. Actually, money is a very small part of my assistance to her. My difficult child needs help negotiating the world. But, my relationship with her is now good and I enjoy having her around. With her classes and job, we don't really see each other that much. Still, I worry about what she will do once she finishes school and works full time. I really don't think she could handle bills and an apartment on her own. At least not now. [/QUOTE]
