Please be careful on this one. I have friends who are so utterly enmeshed that the daughter hasn’t left at over 30. It’s not healthy for anyone.

So bars on her window is not a good idea?

Seriously if she wants to stay until she's 40 she's welcome.

Unhealthy Enmeshment and multi-generation households are very different things though.

Agreed. The younger one in this equation has never had a full time job or a relationship counted beyond months. It’s kinda hard to detail, I met the knot when she was 12, almost nothing has changed.
