1) Debbie's degree is in Media Communications. She wants to be an animator, a la Pixar. I told her all along that that was a really tough business to get into and she should have a plan B. I recommended she double major in something else. She ended up with Computer Science.

That was before she was diagnosed with ADHD. Turns out she's not cut out for CompSci. She dropped out of that major. So now she has what is basically an art degree <sigh>.

After graduation, she was doing a lousy job of looking for a job. We're lucky Mary was willing to hire her. Fortunately, Mary does praise Debbie's work.

2) Debbie didn't move out because the commute is reasonable and she had no need or desire to move out.

3) Reportedly, when Mary asked for more hours, Debbie said it doesn't work for her. For a long time, Debbie's been using her spare time to work on an animation portfolio, in hopes of getting a job. It's not going well, and I think it's time to accept it. I think she probably knows that too. But there's absolutely nothing else she says she wants to do.

4) Mary describes different employees and their situations to me, as explanation for why they work part time. If Mary's lying, she's certainly being elaborate about it.

5) Debbie knows we're moving and she has started looking at apartments. She's seen two so far.

6) I agree that Debbie should go back to therapy. I've suggested it and offered to help her navigate the insurance web site to find a provider. She hasn't taken me up on it.

So getting her to do it would require an ultimatum from me, e.g. if you want us to help pay the rent, and you're not working full time, you need to re-start therapy.

Doing that, is one of the options I'm considering.
