She lived on her own for yrs and then moved to another state to get her life together and since then, has been staying at her parents house. She's been there 7 yrs!!!!
What is wrong with her? She has a degree, is relatively attractive (not fat, nice face), has an ok job. She just seems depressed to me but won't let me help her. What is wrong with her and should I keep trying to help her?

Here's another example of people wanting to get into other folk business. Does she or her parents ask you for anything? "Doesn't sound like it." She's working and apparently not leeching off her parents, and if she were that still would be no business of yours or mine." If they are happy with their living arrangement then leave them the hell alone about it. Just because society says it's not ok for someone past a certain age to live with their folks, or their folks to live with them, doesn't make society right. If seven years have past then apparently they're meeting each others needs. It seems like there is not as much wrong with her as it seems to be wrong with you..."Mind your own business, and stop trying to mask your meddlesome ways with a professed desire to help"...

She maybe a little depressed but living by yourself could be worse and for all the horror stories I have heard about room-mates, living with your parents doesn't sound so bad. At least with your parents you are coming home to someone who loves you. Does she seem to want your help or feel like she needs help? Maybe she's ok with the situation and it bothers you because you wouldn't be ok with it...

If she is depressed, it's better she stayed with her parents. She needs people around her. I personally don't think it's wrong to live with your parents at the age of 47, though its a cultural thing. My grandmothers live with us in our extended family.

Just because her life isn't one you'd choose for yourself doesn't mean something is wrong. Maybe she doesn't want to live alone...maybe she finds THAT depressing. Maybe living with her parents makes her feel good in that she feels needed by someone and can help them.

It's probably a win win situation. She helps them out and probably has a fairly affordable living arrangement

She's probably helping her "old" parents out. Sure, you could help by giving her a weekend off from it and YOU "babysit" for her.
