[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like she should start working on her art in her spare time and put that marketing degree to use for herself and learn how to market her art so it sells.

I'm sure in some ways she is being dramatic and selfish, but there are 2 sides to every story.[/quote]

Agreed.  I did suggest that her marketing background could be a benefit to launching her website.  She started to work on it but lost interest.  There are always two sides, agreed.  That's why I don't want to diminish her feelings BC those are valid.  But it is painful when you're told you failed as a mother.  She on my took this current job BC we started pressuring her to apply for more jobs as we were coming up to a year since graduation and I am tiring if the extended adolescence.  She turned down three jobs prior to accepting this one.

I just don't like this victim mentality her therapist seems to feed into. [/quote]

No parent is perfect but these complaints are silly and her therapist is doing far more harm than good.  Its time for her to grow up and start taking responsibility.  There is zero excuse for turning down jobs and waiting a year to get one.  I would have told her she has 4 months or she gets a store job and starts paying her own car insurance and cell phone to start with as well as health insurance.[/quote]
