[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 588198, member: 13542"] I'm glad you're holding your ground Vivi, you're doing the right thing, hard as it is, for yourself, and really, ultimately for your daughter too. I have a grown daughter, 40 years old, who has "issues" and has drug me around with those issues for years. Like in your situation, it was just she and I for most of her life, so that enabling thing is easy to slide into. Last year I did what you did, in essence, and my life has begun to not only be my own once again, but I am finding peace of mind and joy to reign, rather then the continuous drama. The worry will cease as you get used to this new normal, although, with their poor choices it does continue to exist to some degree. The best thing you can do now is to focus on YOU and what your needs are and what makes you happy. It's a whole new ball game now, life is no longer about her it's about YOU. I so wish you peace..........hugs..... [/QUOTE]
