[quote=Anonymous]Keep in touch with her as often as possible. At 18, yes, she is technically an adult but right now she is going off to play house, start school and find work to support herself. These tasks are super overwhleming even for older adults. Do not let her fool you into believing she can handle it all herself. Watch carefully, intervene and provide assistance. Let her move back home if she needs to. Be ok with her dropping her class load if need be. I was extremely indepedant at 18 bc I had to be and looking back now as much older adult I realize how much more difficult and isolating my first years of college were compared to friends who had loving and involved parents. Having a boyfried I brought to college from home was a security blanket I needed for the first year bc I had no emotional support from my family and it really prevented me from being involved in school - both academic wise and socially.
