[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see anything that is environment-related, e.g. someone going to Seattle and then suffering from seasonal affective disorder, or living in a moldy apartment and then getting respiratory stuff.

OP, you have to give your DD space. Otherwise she'll be at home forever.[/quote]
it's just hard to see her struggle. [/quote]

Life is a struggle. 
If she were closer, you'd just see it from a different view.
It isn't your job to take her pain away.

She isn't reluctant to move home. She lives somewhere else.

My brother and I are in our 40s.  He told me a few years ago that he gets tired of people asking if he is moving back (to NY) from the West Coast. He is married, his kid is in school, he has a great job and even a boat (with a place to dock it).

We both feel like the people with whom we grew up see us as nerds or "strange" because of our politics, parenting style, clothes (no leopard or rhinestones) and other choices. When we go back to NY, we both feel like fish out of water. It feels like walking into an episode of the Sopranos. Lots of "I know I guy who can take care of that for you," and "Well, he has a cousin on the police force, so the speeding ticket disappeared."

It isn't a reflection of parenting, it is just a different struggle. I can make it to day 3 before I start to feel itchy.[/quote]
