[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 719877, member: 13542"] Ruffled feathers, welcome. I agree with the others about your enabling. I also agree that you are on the right path with therapy and your willingness to change. You might benefit from reading the article on detachment at the bottom of my post. You may also find information in a book entitled Codependent No More, by Melodie Beattie. NAMI, which is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, will be of help to you, you can access them online, they have chapters in most cities. They offer wonderful courses for us parents which can give you support, guidance, resources and information. They may provide supports for your daughter as well. Give them a call. Getting support for yourself will help you to make better, healthier, more positive choices. CODA, Al-Anon and Narc-Anon are other 12 step groups you might find helpful too. Hang in there, this is hard stuff, keep posting, get yourself into supportive environments and begin to focus on your own needs and desires......find ways to nourish and nurture yourself, self compassion is a key component to finding our way out of enabling.
