[quote=Anonymous]If she considers herself a failure, then her mental health does not sound great. Did you raise her to believe that success equals wealth and social status? If so, that could be feeding into her issues. Better values would have served her better. She is working full time and found a life partner, that is better than many. Especially if she struggled with mental illness and did not finish college. Perhaps she has chosen a career that society does not reward financially (like helping children or the disadvantaged). That reveals a flaw in society, not your daughter. Maybe underwrite therapy to help her feel better about herself? Or family therapy, where you can express your own beliefs about not supporting her sufficiently growing up?[/quote]
