[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 429045"] I'm so sorry. The advice you have been given here is priceless as it comes from experience and the heart. I have detached from the goings on of our young adult daughter. At first it was very hard and even today, I have my moments. I can tell you, that when I was able to detach, my life improved significantly. You will always love your daughter and wish things were different. But, for many, that is just not the reality. How much more important is it for you and your family, since you hae a younger child in the home who needs your attention and your ability to think clearly. Detachment is for you and your family. In the long run, it might also help your older daughter who perhaps might see at some point, that inappropriate behaviors do not result in attention. It is hard, but as best as you can, put one foot in front of the other and move forward. Your gentle effort, will actually help to bring about healing quicker. In time, that hole will heal. [/QUOTE]
