Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. Your question is one that there is not a stock answer for.  The easiest part of this to address is that if there is already turmoil in a relationship, that it could increase if the individuals spend a great deal of time together.   However, since the young woman is now an adult, i would presume that would be her decision to make. Some of life's lessons are learned painfully. 
   What is excellent is that she is employed and helps out in the home.  It is also says a lot that she plans to start college this year. It is not uncommon for young adults to live in their family home while they are going through college. Even students who live on campus often return to live with their family over the summer and other breaks. On the other hand, moving out is moving into the next step in adulthood.  It would be a different situation if there was an adult child who lived in the home who did  not work, did not contribute and had no plans for a higher education.

Question 3

does living in a foster home affect the quality of life of a child?

Accepted Answer

Everything does: All of our experiences affect our lives. It depends on the care provided in the foster home, how long the child was there, and most importantly - how the child views the experience.  Living in a foster home isn't ideal but happens when a home environment isn't safe or nurturing for a child.  Children who live in foster homes often go on to be happy and healthy throughout their lives.

Question 4

what happens if your adult bipolar child has to come home to live, should you ask for any financial compensation?

Accepted Answer

It depends on : Their level of functioning. I would require that they B in therapy &amp; under supervision of a psychiatrist 2 insure they R on the right medications &amp; keep them regulated properly. If they R working contributing financially makes sense. If not, treatment could have getting back 2 work as a goal. Some family therapy is also adviseable. If they regress U should be in communication w' their therapist.

Accepted Answer

This time is precious for all of you.

Question 6
