[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many 22 year olds are not yet 100% fully independent in every way.

In a few years, i am sure that the young adult in this case will be doing great and she will likely achieve that with or without her dad's support. He can choose OP over his daughter and refuse to support her or help her. She will remember that when she gets her feet underneath her and is doing fine. Who were the people who were there for her and who were the people who turned their backs on her. Maybe to keep OP happy, dad will turn his back on his daughter and tell her to kick rocks and never come to them  for support or help. OP would be happy but dad will lose this relationship with his daughter. He may or may not be willing to do that.

and not being fully financially independent at 22 is not a sign you will be living in your parent's basement in your 40s and 50s. It means nothing about that at all.

OPs kid may do college but then what if he wants to come home after college? What if he too goes through a rough patch - will OP be disgusted with him and refuse to let him in the house? This is dad's bio daughter. [/quote]

Dad for what ever reason has not been the primary parent.  Mom controlled everything.  He probably had every other weekend visits at best.  She is past college age.  She lives with her mom and mom isn't kicking her out.  She is having a tantrum because mom told her to get a job since she's not at school.  Dad is not helping by taking her.  [/quote]
