[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 516012, member: 1514"] Hi and welcome. What I am going to tell you is probably not what you are going to want to hear but I will just put it out there. I think you need to find some sort of independent living situation for your daughter so she isnt as dependent on you. Right now she is focusing on you for all her needs but she is also blaming you even if it is subconsciously for everything wrong in her life. All the "Im stupid" talk she is giving you is proof of that. She graduated college with outstanding grades. She is not stupid. If you are in the NY area I would bet there are services for the blind that could help you find a place where she could live and have access to transportation. If she has to change jobs, so be it. Maybe she could be in a roommate situation. I think if she starts to have some successes with living on her own and managing her own life she will feel better about herself. I agree with the fact that these kids become "therapied" out when they have been in therapy for much of their young lives. Later on when she is of the mind to decide that she wants to work on an issue that she has identified then it will work. [/QUOTE]
