[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 713798, member: 13542"] I know exactly how that feels too Denise......I had to learn how to separate myself from my daughter's dramatic lifestyle and "not knowing" was very difficult for me too. I still struggle with it at times, however, as you saw, while you are suffering your daughter was off on her next adventure. There's a quote by the Dalai Lama I kept coming upon when I was going thru the worst of it with my daughter, "don't allow others to rob you of your inner peace." And, another quote, "pain is inevitable, misery is optional." Both of those supported a new focus, putting myself as the priority and accepting what I can't change......and that began to create some real changes. Hang in there, stay well supported, put yourself FIRST, be very, very kind to yourself, show yourself the compassion you obviously have shown your daughter......you deserve that. [/QUOTE]
