[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 669268, member: 18516"] Welcome RedAlert, I am glad you found us here. Your story is all to familiar and I am so sorry for what you are going through. This site is a good and safe place to be, you will find support here from other parents who are on the same difficult journey. It sounds like you are very strong and have recognized that helping/enabling has not worked for your daughter. It's good that you stopped aiding her. I know how your heart breaks. As a parent we do all we can for our children and hope that they will become a responsible adult. I'm glad you understand that it's not your fault. So many times our Difficult Child will try and blame us and guilt us into helping them. Being able to see clearly that you are not responsible for the choices she has made is huge. There is an article at the top of the Parent Emeritus page about detachment. Here's the link to make it easier. [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/article-on-detachment.53639/#axzz3nt7e66Ny[/URL] Now you are here with us. I have found the best way to cope is to take care of myself. I hope you are doing this also. ((HUGS)) to you...................... [/QUOTE]
