[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 237251, member: 1436"] Hello and Welcome. I am so sorry that you are feeling the guilt for the choices your daughter made. I think that getting over the guilt is a process. Around here, we call it detachment. It allows you to see that your child's choices are theirs. You are allowed to choose what you will and will not allow in your life. Your daughter is afforded those same choices. You can not make them for her. I'm not sure what she's done, but I am guessing that alcohol an/or drugs are probably involved. Detachment is the key. It allows you to continue to love your child but not condone the bad choices they make. You love them without enabling them. You don't try to fix the problems. You allow them to face their own consequences. You know that you have done the best you can and that is all that you can do. Good luck on your quest. [/QUOTE]
