[quote=Anonymous]Staying WITH HER in the dorm? JFC. Does your husband's family think this is normal? They all sound enmeshed and in denial. It sounds like you totally do mind having her live with you, because of the pouting and the constant need for rides and for help with every little thing. You say "I know she's capable" because she learns a few things here and there. But that's a far cry from being able to manage a job and a home. She sounds like very impaired in executive functioning so she can learn a few things but she can't executive-function all day like adults are supposed to do. And also DPD, so she can learn a few things but she avoids learning the things that would create the expectation of independence. So I would say she's very much NOT capable, and she isn't going to become capable without major intervention and the family cease enabling her. If you don't want to be caring for her, you need to get her OUT.[/quote]
