[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually care less about the FTL adult child than I do about the parental reactions. Do they consistently or episodically enable and support destructive behavior? Do they disagree with the FTL child’s warped sense of reality? And then … if the FTL child is 40 and still getting substantial financial support, whose fault is that and WWJD?[/quote] FTL kids are absolutely the parents' fault. You either set expectations that financial support ends after college (or graduate school if you're wealthy and want to support it), or you don't. I have seen kids who milk their parents for a long time or even indefinitely, and they do it because they can. It's our job as parents to set expectations and enforce boundaries. [/quote]
