I think you need to prepare yourself to what is to come. You are approaching retirement age and you are taking on a dependent adult now whom you barely know. Of course that’s all a moot point as she’s married, but just hypothetical.

But if she leaves, and moves in with you…You might have to work all into old age as you’ll have to support her now.
>>She has a full time job now, with many responsibilities. She currently deposits her checks in a joint account, and grandad pays the bills.

Genevieve is not totally dependent. Her particular version of bipolar makes it extremely difficult to deal with change. She needs a regular routine, shower, get pills ready, sleep 8-10 hours if possible. Go to work the next day and repeat. She is totally reliant on this routine.
