does anyone have a 21 year old stepdaughter living at home with them? Here's a breakdown...she was the product of a one night stand, my husband didn't know about her until she was 3, he started paying child support and getting her when allowed. Her mother moved her to 9 different schools before she was in high school. She then decided to live with us at the age of 14. Her birth mother has nothing to do with her. Her and I used to be very close. I was her best friend and she told me everything and talked with me about everything. She went away for one semester of college ane hated it. She is now in school and will graduate from a 2 year program in the Spring. She changes when she started this school. She is sometimes edgie and moody. She was never a problem child and never back talked or acted out. She does have panic attacks sometimes. she is very unclean. she showers about every 2 days and her room is a total mess. She is "forgetful" of daily task. She can not keep a relationship with a male. And she LOVES everyone she dates. No matter what the time frame of the relationship is. When working she is very withdrawn from our family. She came in last night, we were in the bed, i was up washing dishes this morning, she came out of the bathroom, went to her room and then left for work without speaking to me. Often she comes in and doesnt speak to us either. She is very unfriendly. I told her once she graduates she needs to pay her own cel bill, car payment and insurance. We currently pay them at a total of about $500.00 per month. Does anyone know if it sounds like she is depressed? She goes out and as what I call School friends but doesn't have any friends other than the social group she is in at the time. She has no long lasting friendships. Actually she changes friends about every year. I just dont understand her. Do I need to get her some help????
