[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 478198, member: 59"] Unless you live with this kind of chaos you really cannot imagine what it's like. The only way you can detach is if your difficult child is out of your life and you don't have to live with the day to day turmoil. It's easy to say just detach, it's impossible to do when the person is sitting in the car in your garage. You can call the police and you can have her arrested and you can turn off you phone and you can put locks on your door, but a mom is a mom and your heart is torn apart. Does Kathy want this to stop, of course she does. Does she need someone to talk to about this craziness, yes she does. Unless you have been to al-anon meetings you think they have some majic way of helping you detach. They don't. It's an hour where you do readings and meditate about that reading. Your problem is still there when you leave. You have an hour to break the thought process, that's it. I kept going back and back waiting to be enlightened, waiting to get it, waiting for the ah-ha moment that never came. Like I said I don't want to say anything bad about it because it's a wonderful program for some, but when you are in the throws of a crisis it's never helped me. Kathy I think you are doing all you can right now. You blocked her calls, you had the police make her leave, you told her she cannot come back home. You know she cries wolf and that she is not going to hurt herself. You have been incredibly strong through all this. Your daughter will continue to escalate until she thinks you will break. Continue to tell her you love her but that she needs help and you will help her find a safe sober house. Nancy [/QUOTE]
