[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 662161, member: 17542"] Lioness I have been following along here. Lots of good conversation and we know how hard this all is. It is very very hard. Two things. Never forget that you have choices. Every single day...you have many many choices about how your life will be. Never delegate your happiness to the whims of another person. Claim your power over your own life. That means... Realize your daughter is just one person in your life. Realize your grandchild is just one person in your life. Grieve the situation and then recognize the many good people and good things in your life and give them the proper weight. Don't weight your whole scale of happiness on the daughter and grandchild. That is out of whack. Second, alanon is basically free group therapy for people who are enablers and have trouble with boundaries. It is for us. You and me. Find the meetings in your area and start going. It will make an in review difference in your life if you will go consistently. Most of my healing has come from alanon and I am forever grateful for the changes in ME. I am a much more mature, balanced and healthy person today. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
