My son isn't a big talker, but he has had to make 2 surgery appointments in the last 6 months for himself and get himself there. (My parents went for the surgeries as I had to work). He wouldn't have done it on his own if it weren't an emergency basis but he did it. If he had been at home he would have asked me to do it, but because he lives on the mainland he had to do it. It was hard not to jump in and do it for him, but he did it.
Pridemom I think you just have to let her deal with the consequences. For DS I wanted to be on the next ferry over to take him to the dentist but I couldn't go. My parents met him at the office and brought him home to his apartment (he was under anaesthesia and couldn't drive of course). It was good for him. Scary for mom but good for son.

I think what you are doing is the best thing for her. She has to start taking responsibility for herself. I admit that I did way too much for my boys. It was just easier at times. My youngest moved out on his own last year and it is amazing what it has done for his self-confidence to be totally responsible for himself and doing well!
BTW, I have times where I really do not care for making phone calls. I do it, but it is difficult at times.

DD has huge anxiety if she has to talk on the phone, and she's 28. We live in different provinces now, so if she doesn't do it herself, nobody can fix it. So she forces herself when absolutely necessary.
She is fine talking on the phone with me, DH, her brother and her grandparents.
