[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 661499, member: 4152"] I too feel for you. You have sooo much on your plate. I agree with what the others have said and I'm glad that you read the detachment literature here. I also agree about avoiding (big time) their social media. A possible exception would be if you feel their life is in danger. That's about it. I'm not kidding. Not much good can come out of it. Your adult child is just that...an adult. I too would limit contact. Consider what you might be willing to offer your daughter...counseling, doctor visits (confirmed only), etc. But, I wouldn't be too available or generous to someone who is falsely accussing me of horrible things. If she has worked and failed and if she clearly has a mental illness diagnosis and sees a doctor for this regularly...maybe she should apply for disability. But such things are serious business and in my humble opinion, should be treated as such. It sounds like you have little support. Have you considered counseling for yourself? Good grief, you would have to be a robot to not be shaken up by this. Under the circumstances, it's a positive that you work from home, but the flip side of that, is that you don't have co workers to distract you with simple chit chat. I definately would consider counseling, if you are not doing so already. You didn't cause this and you can't fix this. She has to make the personal decision to get appropriate help and to live her life in a healthy manner. Consider contacting Runnaway Bunny if you are using a name that is very close to your actual one. I'm almost certain you can change and/or alter it. Come here as often as you need for ideas and support. Please be good to yourself. What do you like to do? Like getting the Starbucks coffee...do more of that! :) Blessings. [/QUOTE]
