[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 123001, member: 3626"] I would call the counselor. Let them work it out together. Hopefully, the counselor has her phone number so you don't have to give it up. The more the counselor can make it sound like the phone call is because of a missed appointment (if/when that happens), the better. Personally, I LOATHE detaching. I want to be part of my daughter's life, share her joys, triumphs and, yes, her failures. However, when they decide to become adults, we have no choice. For me, the most painful part was knowing that she wasn't an adult except in chronological years, knowing that I couldn't protect her from herself. All I could do was sit and wait until she needed me and I really don't do well at the sit and waiting stuff. I did, however, take the time to regroup when she moved out. I found a little bit of the me I'd lost over the years, the pieces that had to be buried to be the mother she needed. For you, take this time to get to know your younger kids, the parts that they buried to avoid some of the drama. Do things for you. Regroup, recoup and recover. [/QUOTE]
