[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 693159, member: 20487"] Well, today I do feel better. I read over and over the several responses I have on my conversation regarding my daughter, taking care to try to absorb this. It is just unnatural to not help your own children and goes against all instincts. Under normal conditions I am willing to help out, if there is a temporary problem or someone needs a ride. These things have turned into long terms chronic life issues that I am not able and don't know how to manage. But, I do realize that they are not children, they are grown people who haven't managed their own lives. It is so hard to detach and let them handle being homeless or suffer in jail or worse, possibly suffer illness or death from the decisions they make. I will continue to be resolved to detach and refuse to be drawn into the drama, but it just wears me out and drains me emotionally. I do need the support of this group and thank anyone who has any advise or comments. I think it is hard to change the way of thinking from wanting to rescue to hands off and let matters resolve themselves. [/QUOTE]
