[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 588245, member: 13542"] Vivi, you've received some terrific responses to your inquiry. There is [B]always[/B] hope for them and for us. There are stories all over this board and some who have graduated from this board whose kids are doing well in the world. And, it seems to me that the parents who continue to post here fairly regularly are learning their own tools to wade through in a healthier and all around better way for themselves. In the time I've been here, I see many improvements and more peaceful environments in the midst of some of the chaos that our kids present us with. It's clearly a process for us parents, it doesn't happen overnight, we have to learn how to live in a healthy way in this new landscape our kids have chosen. It takes time and energy and commitment, but it can be done. My daughter is still 'out there' in her own universe, the jury is still out on her...............however, I am in a MUCH, MUCH better place. I began taking the focus off of her and putting it on me and little by little that, along with therapy, groups, books, friends and this board, I gained clarity, peace of mind, joy and I learned how NOT to allow my daughter's choices to negatively impact my life. Hang in there. Keep posting. Find support for yourself. Read books. There is light at the end of the tunnel, really there is. [/QUOTE]
