I'm one of those people too, that never got life on their own. But the truth is now, I'm never going to get life on my own, because I have D4 with me! And that is fine. It's the way it should be. Now H wants life on his own and the joke is on him, because he has S13 with him! We can't go back to being 20 or 19 or 25. We have to move forward, but it's hard for people to realize that sometimes.
Is there anyone else she could move in with (parents, sister, anybody?) to help her squash these feelings? Would she listen to me????!!!
Living independent means coming home to an empty house. It means no one ever having supper ready when you get home. It means you take care of all your own bills. It means if you can't hack it, you fall, because there is no one else to depend on. It means getting your own medical insurance, your own car insurance, and taking care of anything and everything that you used to depend on someone else for, no matter how small. However, it is also half the laundry, half of the food, and about half of the house cleaning, too.
Living independent is facing the world alone with no one to catch you. I want to be caught. I want to catch somebody else.
