Need Advice: Selling My Apartment and Moving to a Care Home, But Not Helping My Daughter

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I need some advice and thought this would be the best place to get some honest opinions. So, here’s the deal: I’m planning to sell my apartment and move into a care home. It’s a big decision, and I’m feeling a bit conflicted about one particular aspect.

My daughter, Camila, is in her late 20s and has always been a bit dependent on me financially. I’ve helped her out a lot over the years, but I feel like she could achieve so much more if she learned to stand on her own two feet. I know she has the potential; she’s smart and capable, but I think my constant support might be holding her back.

Now that I’m selling my apartment, there’s going to be a significant amount of money involved. Part of me feels like I should give some of it to Camila to help her out, but another part of me thinks it’s time for her to learn to manage on her own. I don’t want to come off as harsh or uncaring, but I genuinely believe this could be a turning point for her.

I’ve talked to my friends Robert and Ariana about this, and they have mixed opinions. Robert thinks I should give her some money to help her get started, while Ariana believes that withholding financial support might be the push she needs to become more independent.

What do you guys think? Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,

Iwona
