[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 740197, member: 15801"] Thanks it is up and down for sure. Always a balancing act and I always wonder if I am enabling..... sometimes I have to just think would I do this for my very together adult daughter? The other day he called me in a panic. His power had been shut off.... he was on hold with the power company. He thought his utilities was included in the apartment rent (I did too to be honest). Not so and he has probably been getting bills for months and ignoring them. Anyway while he was at work I spent an hour on the phone on hold waiting to talk to someone, ended up paying his bill so his power could get turned back on. This is the first time he has had an apartment so even though he should have been on top of this he wasn’t..... we saw him a couple of nights before and he actually seemed like he was in a pretty good place. We had a nice visit. He likes his job and has been there consistently for 3 weeks.... so I did help him out. Was it enabling.... yeah probably but I would have done the same for my daughter. [/QUOTE]
