[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 352974"] Nancy, I am so very sorry. Our situation is VERY similar. It boggles the mind. As a parent, I wonder if I anything at all to do with this. Then, I remember all the times I tried my best with- logical consequences, with discussions, with having others speak with her, with counseling, etc. I put in 110% and I know you did as well. If I was guilty of anything, it was at times, trying too hard. I am letting go of the guilt and letting go of it FAST. There is a disconnect for our adult kids. Now, that she is an adult, it's clearly up to her to figure it all out. It is hard to watch...so I try not to watch. I am taking care of me now. I love that site Suz has at the bottom of her posts [U][url]http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment/[/url][/U][URL="http://www.livestrong.com/article/14700-self-affirmations/"][/URL]) it's awesome! Anyway, I totally empathize with you my friend and hope that you and your husband are doing your best to enjoy life to the fullest. Also, hope that some day, sooner rather than later, our daughter's will "get it." Amen. [/QUOTE]
