[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 541974, member: 59"] I too understand all too well. My daughter also had awful attachment issues and was at times abusive to us. From ages 14-19 when we finally made her leave our house, she was horrible to us. She ended up abusing alcohol and drugs and she has been living elsewhere since then. Kicking her out of the house was the hardest thing I ever had to do and yet I knew if I didn't my marriage would fail and my older daughter would never recover from the chaos. We could not help her any longer. We helped her get into a treatment center and worked with her for a year trying to get sober but she relapsed and is living on her own. Like your daughter she also got pregnant with her boyfriend of the month. Thank goodness she did not carry it to term and she now has an IUD that will hopefully protect her for five years. It would be disasterous for her to have children. Detachment does not happen overnight or without pain. If you have any FA (families anonymous) meetings near you I strongly suggest you go. In time you will detach with love and without guilt. Nancy [/QUOTE]
