...my 23 yr old daughter is moving back home this weekend. She's finally completed her undergraduate degree after 5 1/2 years and was supposed to start a graduate degree program last week. Long story, short, she lied to her dad and me about starting the program. We've been supporting her financially and emotionally through all this. She struggles with depression and anxiety often. But, so do I. I feel like she thinks it all about her and her needs without thinking of how her actions effect other people. We just found out she lied about this on Monday and it's Wednesday and she accused me of not caring about her feelings...but what about her dad and my feelings. Don't we have a right to negative emotions about this?. We decided that when she is home, she'll have to earn her keep by chores, and household projects. I feel betrayed and angry and sad and I feel guilty too because I raised her, pretty much. How can I find the compassion she needs to help her get through her struggles (she's leaving her boyfriend behind at the apartment they live in.) It feels like such a mess and I'm struggling a lot to manage my own emotions. Any kind words would be much appreciated. 😢
