[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 609112, member: 13558"] When I was in a group counseling discussing detachment there were about half that stated under no circumstances would they ever go no contact with their adult child. Some of us just replied, well you haven't lived in my house yet! Detachment and even no contact comes after we realize that all we have done has done nothing, maybe it has even caused more harm than good. It comes when we have reached a point where we can no longer live with the daily chaos and stress. We try the best we can to accept difficult child for what they are, and at the same time give our selves permission to have a life that doesn't revolve around them. Enough is enough!!! The first time I was around someone practicing tough love and detachment I thought they were the coldest, meanest person I knew. Little did I know that judgement would come back years later to bite me in the butt. I have stated my difficult child taught me the true meaning of unconditional love! As RE has advised all of the members, seek professional help for this one. It's not an easy issue. [/QUOTE]
