[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very sympathetic to people with depression, and I know that sometimes parents expect their kids to do normal things like contribute to household chores when the kids literally cannot do that.

But I also know a life with too much ease can contribute to depression.

I would error on the side of sympathy, but it’s a really tough call to make. I don’t envy anybody in that position.

Pls a life in zero contributions or productivity equals more depression.

[b]Most people want to be needed and to contribute. Even from age 2 on. Like Montessori school. They want to be functioning, give them more and more times to function.[/quote]

I completely agree. The question here is whether you'd kick them out if they refused to do it. [/quote]

I would disassociate with them if they lived in my house and on my dime. I am not a psychologist or a doctor or a fulltime nurse. You can’t save everyone. Hire a professional. Caretaking mentally disordered relatives is no joke. It’s soul sucking. [/quote]

You would stop talking to your kid and pay someone to help them? [/quote]

What’s to talk about?

We must not be on the same page with how dire things are or could be. Have you quit your job, your career, your friends, your other disordered relatives to try to save a disordered adult child?  Maybe I know a lot of women who have. Even when the child was young. They quit everything to sacrifice for said child and young adult.  Do you want to know the results? You don’t. [b]Your stop repeating your same question 10 x on this thread.

Go join some meetup groups on the subject. Good luck. [/quote]

No one is doing that. [/quote]
