[QUOTE="Drew64, post: 759608, member: 18676"] It has been a long time since I posted here. Came to get opinions and probably just to get my emotions out. My daughter is 21. Finished high school and enrolled her at a community college. She took classes in and off. Always needed prodding or reminding to get work done. She’s never had a real drive to do things. Other than her gaming and drawing. Her major is graphic arts. Or so she says that’s what she wants. Over this past summer with everything being remote she got more into gaming. Has a twitch channel and streams her games. Plays League of Legends. She wanted a gaming desktop and earned money playing to get one with some help from me. So she plays late at night. This semester she registered for 2 classes which we dropped today as she did none of the work and didn’t want to lose the money. Last week she texted me cause that’s how kids communicate that she wanted to move in with some of her online friends she made. She was tired of having us breathing down her neck. She knows them and they have lived on their own. So o ask where and she tells me Washington state they were looking at outside of Portland Oregon. One of the girls lives in area. Supposedly two of these girls make some money from their web page and want my daughter to work freelance for them and they will help with her rent part. I’m it fully aware of everything as we have not talked about it yet. I needed to absorb what she told me. Now in the text my daughter felt she was not loved even if we said it. That’s the furthest from the truth. She is loved very much. My wife started crying when I told her this. She has no life skills.
