[QUOTE="Joyfullyme, post: 664952, member: 19400"] I'm so sorry you are going through this - it is heartrending to watch our adult children spiral down into self-destruction. The truth is, you can't help her - not if she does not want to help herself. Please read the article on Detaching over and over again. You are not equipped to help her, change her, fix her, save her. You can't control this situation. I know how you feel - all of us here do. The best thing you can do for yourself - and for her - is to detach from this. Retire and spend time with your husband doing things that make you both happy. Spend time enjoying those grandkids - be joy and stability for them. And keep coming here and reading and posting. Hugs!! [/QUOTE]
