[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what your life experience is that would lead you to question saying, 'I'm proud of you.'. There are so many reasons why one non-related adult would say that to another - 100 days sober, finding the courage to leave a bad relationship, finishing a marathon, making change for a healthier lifestyle, going back to school to complete a degree (my grandmother got her high school diploma when I was 16), etc. It is a recognition of effort and achievement. Of course, any phrase can be made condescending based on tone and the relationship of the person - "Bless your heart" is a great one. [/quote]
