[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 632010, member: 13542"] Where you are RBMom is that place we hit over and over again, the choice to not step in to help. It is a very challenging place filled with all of our fears for our adult kids. However, they make the negative choices, they do that, and not only do they have to live with their poor choices, but we do as well. The only way I was able to live with those choices was to seek professional help. I had an army of help in many different forms and, RBMom, I made it through each one of those choices. As you will. Get yourself into supportive environments to meet these challenges. Whether it is a 12 step group, private therapy, a parent group, any kind of support group, just so you can have some safe place to vent, receive the care you need, and the tools to help you detach and accept what you cannot change. This is likely the hardest thing you will ever do, We don't have the background nor the tools nor the knowledge to make the kind of choices this requires of us, most of us need help to do it. Make sure you get that help and take very, very good care of yourself in every way, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. If you make that commitment to yourself, you will get through this and you will be able to feel joy again and peace will find you. [/QUOTE]
