[quote=Anonymous]Eh, I know people who should be able to adult but can’t/don’t/won’t.

A 50 something woman who dropped out of private high school and lived a life of adventure for a decade until returning home to live with her parents. Doesn’t work. Isn’t physically disabled. Suffers from anxiety/depression like many people but basically just hangs out and travels with her UMC parents.

A 40 something woman who partied hard and dropped out of college. Traveled the world with an affluent group of friends and partied hard. As others matured and married and settled down, she became an alcoholic (largely fueled by anxiety, depression, and recognition that she pissed her life and options away). On disability. Sometimes lives with her parents, and sometimes lives at their vacation home.

If these women didn’t have parents giving them a home and coveting their expenses, I imagine they’d be homeless.

Interestingly, if you met these women, you’d never guess they aren’t self-sufficient. [/quote]
