[QUOTE="Lil, post: 643268, member: 17309"] You know, I think he has those skills. I mean, he's a VERY bright young man. Too bright for his own good in a lot of ways...and the fact is, no one told me how to do things like open bank accounts, etc. I just walked in to a bank, up to a teller, and said, "I need to open a checking account." and it was taken care of. No one told me how to pay a bill, I just wrote a check, stuck it in an envelope, put a stamp on it and put it in the mail. No one told me how to do my taxes. I picked up a EZ form and did it. He's a little younger. He's a little less self-confident. But he's not a child...he can too. I think I have to come to terms with the fact that my life is never going to be what I expected. Many parts of my life are very close to perfect (Jabber :inlove:) and I have to cling to those parts and let the rest go. I think my thread here on his screw-up and crisis has become a bit of a journey of self-discovery, huh? :) Don't expect this to last. LOL [/QUOTE]
