Anxiety is crippling my cousins daughters

24yr old and a 19yr old.

Last week my cousin met us in Charleston SC with her 19 yr old. They were planning on staying 5 days. They left after 2 days because the 19yr old was having anxiety. Drove 7 hours to stay 2 days. Cousin told me later that her 19 yr old finished the last 2 months of her senior year of HS from home. She's taking online community college classes now because being around people is too much.

The 24yr old flew from Louisville to Dallas this past Thursday with a connection to LAX for a pharmacy school function. She got to Dallas and couldn't make herself get on the 2nd flight. This was her 2nd flight, first alone. She and my cousin concocted a plan for her to rent a car and drive from Dallas to my house in B'ham, AL, my cousin would drive down from KY to take her to the Louisville airport to get her daughters car, then drive back to Harlan KY.

Then yesterday, the 19 yr old called and asked for her parents to come get her from Richmond KY, where she had drove herself to visit a friend going to school at EKU. She couldn't bring herself up to drive home. Said the traffic in Richmond KY was too much.

I told my cousin that she has to stop rescuing her kids. They aren't learning to fight through adversity and overcome fears when you keep saving them. She agreed and said it was their daddy was the one coddling them.

Insanity.
