[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 549728, member: 59"] TL it is very freeing when we finally come to the realization that we cannot fix them, we cannot control what they do nor do we have any influence over their behavior. I was at my support group meeting last night and I was trying to remember when that happened for me because I realized that I don't cry at the meetings any longer and I really have detached from her behavior. Notice I said I detached from her behavior, not from her. Like you I still hope that someday she can turn her life around but I am no longer waiting for that day to happen and I have arrived at some peace in my life. I'm so glad that you are at this place in your life. You have tried so hard to fix him or at least to make every opportunity available to him and even hand deliver it. It'sd time that we both concentrate on the next phase of our lives. Nancy [/QUOTE]
