[QUOTE="compassion, post: 493388, member: 6393"] In my experience, I have to choose my battles. I gave up the cig battle, I never bought them for her when she was under 18. She gets 5 dollars for taking medications and that is what she often chooses to do with her money. In my experience, I have to put my own safety,needs and self-care a major priority. THere is also a greiving process that comes in waves and acceptance of the illness (not badness). I have found that I have to be crystal clear about my "line in the sand", my boundaries and then detatch and put the focus on me as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
