[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 374607"] Not sure of your exact situation. But I think your adult daughter has the same or a similar disorder as ours. In our case, our daughter is on disability and this helps a little. We help her VERY (the key word is VERY) limited fashion financially. And on a rare ocassion, might offer her some advice. We will have her over for dinner about once a month and listen to her concerns, if and only if she is appropriate. We will help her find a mental health counselor and might even help pay for one if she feels she needs one and is willing to do the work. However, WE WILL NOT be difficult children own private counseling center....this is up to the professionals. RE: lovingly detach There were times I had to go to Family Anonymous Mtgs. Got some great information and support there. They have GOOD literature. You can read it many times...to gather strength. It's good for both you and your difficult child to detach. You might provide limited support if she is willing to use this support in a healthy way. But if she is an adult, it is time for her to do things on her own. This is YOUR time to move forward. And if you do, you will set a good example for her. Thinking about this might give you strength. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
