[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 759624, member: 23706"] I have learned that if our adult kids really want to do something, they will We can't stop them. If your daughter wants to go and can find a way she will go. But she may change her mind. Or be unable to get there. At 21 you don't have to meet her friends for her to have them. And even small folks learn how to navigate the world. Trust me my kids have all done things that made me cringe and one has not stopped and she is in her 30s. The best thing your daughter could do in my opinion is to get help. Same with mine. But we can't force it. Your daughter is expressing the normal desire to be independent like her peers. All kids get to that point. Anxiety doesn't stop independence. Many with anxiety still are independent. Somehow your daughter is telling you that she wants to move on. God knows if she actually will. Has she been diagnosed with anything more that anxiety? I send my hugs and prayersand know how hard this is and also our desire to shield our kids. But in the end they have to leave....and some need professional help to learn how to be independent adults. Some who need that help refuse to get it. But all steps are up to them. Or lack of taking steps. Good luck and hugs. Update us. [/QUOTE]
