[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 118712, member: 47"] You definately get the detachment award of the month [img]:smile:[/img] I have an older difficult child and the way she lives her life kinda makes my hair stand on end with unending bad relationship choices and a baby from each one..Its not like she hasent been in therapy and doesn't know why she keeps picking her dad with a different face over and over again in each guy she hooks up with. She is crawling up on 40 and doesn't want to acknowledge Ozzie and Harriet was just a TV show and Ozzie in real life was a horses patatotie..but she wants that life and will step over anyone and everyone and the dead bodies to get there. Unfortunately, my one bad failing was getting too involved and wanting to "help" dig her out of the holes she had dug for herself. And came to the realization I am way too old to be a ditch digger - I did my fair share of digging when I was younger, and it didn't kill me and it wouldn't kill her either. Not to mention the strain the swirling drama put on myself, my SO, not to mention her brothers who didn't get anything for their efforts to help out cept a good kick in the teeth on her way out the door on her way to her new misadventure. It gets easier each time just to smile, wave and wish them well on their journey thru life and not start biting your nails or reaching for that glass of wine when the door closes, wondering if she will be safe, if the grandkids will be ok.. Ya did good Marcie [/QUOTE]
