[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 423306, member: 1157"] I agree with toughlovin.. practice, and therapy. I also read and re-read literature on boundaries and codependency, especially when I feel my detachment skills slipping. Detachment isn't easy, in fact it's downright painful at times ... but it does get slightly easier with time. That is, you get better at it. I also remind myself of something a therapist told me long ago: anything I to to help (enable) her today, only hurts her later. What would my kids do if I weren't around any more? They'll have to learn how to cope without me and my "help" eventually. [/QUOTE]
