[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 367412"] [I]Do you ever get to a point where it's over? Where you no longer get pulled in and have to start over with the detaching thing? [/I] Very simply.... 1. When your difficult child is of a 'certain' age...for me it was 21. 2. When the pain for caring and doing is MUCH more than the pain of detaching. It also helps to accept that you might have to get at least a little support in all of this...from a therapist, a wise and good friend, from reading material, group support like Al Anon or Families Anonymous (FA). Few can do this completely alone. [/QUOTE]
