Daughters 18, growing up,and I’m not sure what to do!??!?
Ok, my daughter is 18 years old, going on 19. She goes to a community college, and is currently living at home. She and my husband do not get along at all. He’s sort of an asshole towards her and everyone if he’s in a bad mood or its late and he’s been drinking.
She is currently dating a guy from our county who is a firefighter and in training to be a paid firefighter. They’ve been dating for over a year now and I really think she is serious about this boyfriend of hers. Im not sure if she’s sleeping with him or not because she’s got a strong head on her shoulders and shes got morals. They’ve recently gotten a puppy together and seem happy. I like her boyfriend to a point, however he just seems to tie her down. I mean when she was younger she used to talk of going to college across the world and now she speaks of getting her bachelors, getting an ok paid job and continuing to get her masters through online courses.
Anyway, over the last few months even after her boyfriend got laid of his job, she has been speaking of moving out of what she calls a “Hell Hole” and into a house or something. She’s very good with money so I know she can afford it (She is always saving money, including what she makes from her 3 jobs), and I know she is not joking about it because I’ve noticed her researching houses, market, affordable houses that were foreclosed and are now owned by the bank.
The thing is, that I am not ready for her to move out. I think it would just be a big mistake and that she just wants it to get away from my husband, and gain her own control of everything. Basically to not have any rules!
She’s just grown up so fast, we used to be very open and very close with each other and lately she’s just been so independent. I’m not sure what to do, and what advice to give my daughter.
If you have any kind of answers please feel free to answer this.
*I’m sorry this is so long, I just had a lot to explain!!!*
THANK-YOU!
