[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 575360, member: 13542"] Welcome to the board. Without knowing more of the circumstances of why your daughter left, it's difficult for us to say anything really meaningful. However, with just the simplest facts, she is an adult and can decide where she wants to live. If you are hurting, perhaps letting her know that and making a request of her to talk to you about her feelings once she feels ready to do that in the hopes that you two can work it out might be the next step. All you can really do is share the way you feel if she is willing to listen. Even to adult children, divorce is traumatic, perhaps she is still working through your divorce from her mother and needs the space to figure it out and doesn't know how to communicate that................as SuZir said, keep the lines of communication open, stay centered, let her know you love her and you are there for her when she is ready to talk..............and let go for now. Certainly not easy, many of us are detached from our kids, it's heartbreaking and often we have no choice, for various reasons. I hope you find peace. [/QUOTE]
