[QUOTE="Fearofsuccess, post: 749903, member: 22905"] Sounds like our 20 year old; I could never put words to it. What Copabanana said is perfect: " So what she is trying to do is live an emancipated life, while depending upon you to provide part-time housing. " Our daughter was supposed to help around the house, agreement actually written and gone over by her with her counselor. She basically decided she didn't want to do chores and told us that she was moved out. So she is now living in an apt with a girl friend and she is working full time now for the past month. PRAYING she can keep this job as others have not worked out. I did pay for her car insurance twice in the past year. I probably should not have but I also did not want to be in the position to have to decide if I was going to drive her to work, so yes that was ultimately for myself; and other poor drivers she may run into. (She has her own car insurance because after 2 wrecks I tell the kids they are off our policy. Apparently she had 3, one of which I didn't even know about.) So maybe there is hope for us? These girls are still young. Also mine did go to one semester of college; she did fine with grades but only took 2 classes and has not signed up to go back. She signed for her own student loan so that is on her. I just had to choose to not intervene any more. It was causing marital and personal stress. And yes, I miss her, or at least what I thought she would be. [/QUOTE]
