Re: FSI
Thanks for the encouragement. My main concern at this point is the well being of my grandchildren.

Re: I am sure this is tough for you
She probably is depressed. I certainly would be, but our personalities are different because I would get up and look for a job even with the depression. And, yes, I've discussed how I feel with her--to the extent that I can with the children around. Not particularly in depth but enough that she knows how I feel. We have to take bits of time and snatches of conversation when the children are out ear shot.

I am sure this is tough for you
but you are doing the right thing.  It could also be she is depressed as she does not have the inclination to seek work.  Whatever it is I find often the causes are so dep and sometimes not what I think we are.  Did you say all of this to her (about our feeling it unfair that you work and she is home?)  Just checking.

Closing the National Bank of Mom can be a difficult move to make but is ultimately the right one to make. Hopefully your daughter will find a job.
