[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 660041, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome! I hate to say this but I agree with your husband that you have to wait and see what happens. She is a legal adult and self-supporting so there is nothing you can do. The first year of college seems to be the downfall of many of our kids. Yours is still very young so there is hope that she will find her way. In the meantime, concentrate on you. Find a therapist and/or a support group to help you through this time. There are also some good books about co-dependency and setting boundaries with adult children that would be helpful for you to read. Here are a few to get you started: Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children Don't Let Your Kids Kill You: A Guide for Parents of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
