[quote=Anonymous]I think you both sound emotionally immature. You don’t need her gratitude to validate your parenting decisions. That ship has sailed and if you regret key decisions like paying for college it’s on you-you shouldn’t have done it in the first place. You don’t raise children expecting some kind of return on investment in the form on success or gratitude or bragging rights. Also, she is not a ‘failure to launch.’ You don’t approve of her lifestyle but she’s living independently, pursuing art, and not all alone. You are waaasy to judgey and angry about her adult life and should go spend some time on the special needs forum to gain some perspective. There are parents there who would be thrilled to achieve that outcome. I’m not sure why you are so angry and hope it comes from love albeit misplaced. I suggest you find a therapist to help you work through your anger before you alienate her entirely. [/quote]
