[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more thing! You can probably tell I’ve been through stuff :) This is in no way a criticism, my heart goes out to you, but truly—try not to think about things like whether she’ll be employable or not someday. Or whether you’ll have to do her laundry for the rest of her life. It’s hard not to spiral sometimes but it is way too early to know what her future looks like. People continue to grow and develop even in adulthood. One day at a time. [/quote] True. But kids like this are always on the ridge, the cusp of doing OK or spiraling down down down. It’s exhausting. You really have to detach OP. Do your best, don’t grind yourself down, and the kid will have to increasingly take over all consequences. Not you. Not your spouse- no mention of him…. [/quote]
