:cool: Yeah, my oldest is 20, living on her own with roomates, and gee am I so much smarter. I have to say that she is a pretty good kid and always loves leftovers (after 2 years at Burger King anything but a Whopper tasted good), now when she comes for dinner she is very happy to take home food. She also really liked the TP and cleaning supplies for Christmas.
However the way I am really smart is that she is dealing with people, and like most of us has found people she thought were so super cool only to find out they have major issues just like a difficult person in her life before (in her case dad). She called to ask me how to deal with a situation because she knew I was the only person who had a clue how to deal with it. I am not sure I still know how to deal with it but I offered some advice, she did her best, but she also has a lot to work on to become assertive enough to deal with the situation. I signed her up for a Civilized Assertiveness for Women class and I think that may really help, I liked the class when I took it.
But keep some kind thoughts for her, if this is what it appears to be she is in a lease with a narcissist for the next 9 months and it doesn't get much better once you are not the coolest thing since sliced cheese anymore.
