[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705448, member: 18958"] My reading of the research has given me another point of view. There are stages of development, intellectual and moral development. Many people develop well into adulthood, into their 30's. Rebellion can and does continue throughout the 20's. My son is 28. He is only now showing some sort of cooperation. This is one point of view. But there are many others. First, you are doing a great deal for her. I admire you. But it is hard to see our efforts for another person translating into success. There is no immediate or visible effect--but there may be a cumulative effect that is manifested down the road. I would not give up on her. I would keep posting and post on other threads as well as your own. Who you can change, and change now, is yourself. How personally you take this; your perspective; the support and happiness in your own life. All of these things you control. Life for you, happy life, can go on, even without her positive response. Here you will see parents setting limits, enforcing boundaries, and focusing on themselves and their relationships. With this, their children have the opportunity to begin to model the same thing, taking control of themselves and their own lives, with support. That is what we learn here. I am glad you are here. Take care. Keep posting. (If the photo in your avatar is you or a family member, it might be better if you remove it. This is an anonymous site so that your privacy and family's privacy is protected.) Welcome. [/QUOTE]
