[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 558406, member: 13542"] Tammy, welcome back, dubious as that may be for you. I am a grandparent raising a grandchild too, so my heart goes out to you. Below is a link you might offer your husband, it's a very good article on detachment. Perhaps he could attend some groups, Codependents anonymous? Here in Ca. groups are offered to help parents to move away from enabling our kids, lead by trained therapists who are knowledgeable in not engaging and how to do it. There is also NAMI, National Alliance on Mental Illness which offers groups for parents. It sure is a learning curve, it's taken me a long time to figure out how to set boundaries and keep them, so I don't know of any quick fixes, but, for me, groups really helped. Seeing and hearing other parents dealing with all the same issues was remarkably helpful and having the therapist point out our mistakes and give us new options was life changing. I wish you lots of luck and send big hugs............... [URL="http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment"]http://www.livestrong.com/article/14...ing-detachment[/URL] [/QUOTE]
