[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 713804, member: 1233"] You are NOT "abandoning" your daughter when you say she cannot live with you or have whatever she asks of you. She is an ADULT, not a child. Your responsibility to support her ended years ago. Your responsibility right now, as her mother, is to make her be self sufficient and support herself. Taking her in after each dramatic crisis does NOT teach her to solve her problems and does NOT help her in ANY way, shape or form. Please wipe these thoughts that you are abandoning her out of your mind. She is not an infant or small child that needs Mommy to protect her. She is a fully grown adult who needs to stand on her own two feet and figure her own life out. It is time to stop the coddling, even if it is just in your mind. End the guilt because it is misplaced and wasted. PLEASE. Feel bad because you spent years not pursuing your own passions, spending your energies instead on this adult who should be taking care of herself. [/QUOTE]
