We have five kids. One is a paramedic, one lives in NYC and works and pays bills, two are entering college. The child directly in the middle is Julie. She was always the most responsible and studious. No more. She came home from college last November during her first semester and has refused to leave since. She doesn’t do chores. She doesn’t work at all. She won’t go to school. We’ve offered to move her to NYC or to other cool places with family for a fresh start. She refuses.
All she does is knit and lay around. She doesn’t go anywhere and doesn’t appear to be doing drugs.
assuming that depression is clearly involved we have had her in therapy for most of this time. Nothing has changed except that she appears to be doing less around the house. She will be twenty very soon. It’s been nearly a year.
I am getting pretty fed up. She appears to have no plans except to lay around working on the same blanket for like a year. We don’t really need another blanket. We DO need chores done and bills paid. It’s very frustrating to come home from work to a dirty house with a grown person just laying around all day.
I don’t know what to do.
