[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 388645"] It was me! :D I found it sooo helpful!! But, I would really, really like to find one for just parents. I just think it is a different situation to relate to when it is your child. I also bought the book codependant no more and that has helped a TON. I never realized how truly co-dependant I was. I was sooo obssessed with trying to save her. I just knew there had to be something that would work - something I hadn't yet said, something I hadn't yet done. Instead all I did was prevent her from hitting bottom and taught her that mom will always rescue her. Yes, it helps that she is not in the home right now. Of course I am still concerned with her and what she is doing, but I am not obssessed. I am able to let her make her own decisions and figure out her own issues. It is a wonderful feeling. I know that I am now doing the best thing I could do for her and that is leaving her be to figure it out. This week I am going to go to the Tuesday afternoon meeting to see if there are more parents there. If not, I will stick to my Monday night meetings. But I will for sure keep going back. [/QUOTE]
