My helper....

Bit of un-solicited advice...and if I am crossing any type of boundary I do apologize....I walked away from my parents...for several reasons. The big one was our relationship never evolved...on my mothers end. She never accepted the fact that I was no longer her "baby boy", that I had turned into an adult. Really difficult to be 30 some year old man, with life falling apart around him and still be treated like a child. Hell, when she found out I was going to be "back home" for a visit...and I have both arms and legs sleeved with ink she told me that I better keep that *hit covered up when I was in her house..tried several times to explain to her that it is just art, does not change who I truly am...and that it was far better therapy than a shrink in dealing with the disaster I was enduring....she just refused to accept it....lol...

No apology necessary. If you mean to not always treat her like a baby I completely agree. We push her to take care of her own stuff and have her own responsibility's with just about everything. She feeds and waters all her chickens, collects the eggs, sales them herself, and has her own savings account to put her money in. She also takes care of her dog herself and her ducks. I hope that this will lead to her being self sufficient and confident in taking care of whatever she faces in her life. With that said though she will always be my little girl.
