This woman has been coddled and enabled by her family for years.
They cannot all be younger than her, and no one can tell how long they will live.

By not making her learn to navigate on her own, they have created a person who refuses to become anything but totally dependant.

I don’t like GPS.
I read maps, and I write down directions, if there are many turns on different roads.

I have driven about 80,000 miles from age 15 to now- 69.
Would have driven more, but $5 gallon gasoline keeps me close to home.

There’s a portion of the brain that makes internal maps and lets us navigate. If that portion of her brain does not function, it does not matter how much tough love is given, she will always be lost.

It’s a little like being color blind. Some people just cannot process the world like others.
