My 30-year old daughter is living at home. She doesn't have a job and hasn't managed to steadily hold a long-term job since graduating college (she was a Studio Art major). She had a couple of waitressing jobs in the past, but they didn't last long at all.She has never had a long-term relationship. She has gone on a couple of dates, but nothing lasted. She also doesn't have a lot of friends. Most of her college friends don't talk to her much anymore because they've gotten married and are busy with their careers.We have two younger daughters (ages 27 and 25) who have been pretty successful in their careers and personal lives. Our 27-year old daughter is a lawyer and married. Our 25-year old daughter is working in finance, recently got promoted in her company, and just got engaged.My husband and I are worried our oldest daughter is mentally ill. We just don't know what to do with her. We have tried issuing an ultimatum and asking her to move out in the next 6 months, but she still hasn't taken any concrete steps in trying to find a job. At the advice of our friends, younger daughters, and Internet strangers, we plan on sticking with the 6-month deadline, but I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to find a therapist for her to see if there are any mental issues that need to be addressed before she moves out. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Jauwms
