[QUOTE="Ann1010, post: 752751, member: 24229"] Yeah she did and went way over the top to make everyone know she was unhappy. My husband didn't want to bring up the money, but he got mad when she told him to F off. We've decided not to push (or ask for) family dinners out...my son was worried that we wouldn't include him in things, and I had to assure him we would. I do wish for a closer relationship with her...and it does hurt when she isn't excited to spend time with us. I at least know my limits....she asked about going on vacation with us, and it was all I could do not to say Hell No. She will have classes and I at least had that reason to say no. I try to give Jordan to God, but unfortunately second guess everything....which is on me. She does pay us a little bit for rent, and has taken on her own car insurance, student loan, and cell phone bill which shows she's trying to be responsible for her own stuff. We are still taking responsibility for her health...paying for therapy/dr and dentist appointments/etc. She goes to and WANTS to go to therapy so there's that too. At this point I should be happy for the small things and stop worrying about the bigger picture. Thanks for your suggestions! [/QUOTE]
