She has refused to be dependent on aide. I did remind her that she is already on Medicaid. My daughter is very stubborn. She sees her mother being very independant, so she wants to be that way too. I reminded her that her mother is a very strong person for certain reasons that do not apply to her. I did convince her to allow her mother and I to help. I also tried to explain in diplomatic terms why she cannot rely on her boyfriend, and how important it is to have a support network. I will go to “Human Services” anyway to see what services are available.
