[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 761305, member: 19832"] Here are my thoughts on detaching with love: I will always love my two difficult adult children, but I do not like them. I do not like how they treat themselves or others. Nonetheless, I want the best for them, which is to heal emotionally and physically and to live lives of integrity. That may or may not ever happen. I try not to rescue them from the consequences of their behavior, and I don't tolerate their abuse. It hurts that they have misrepresented me and treated me badly; I can't control what they think. I do, however, have compassion for them in their suffering and their own trauma, so I let go and let God. I try not to take their behavior personally because they are in my mind sick. I keep turning the focus back on me, and what I need and want to do with my one, precious life. [/QUOTE]
