[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 688323, member: 18516"] Welcome Love, I'm glad you found us here. Please hear me on this, you are not responsible for your daughters choices. There are no perfect families or perfect parents. There are plenty of people who were raised in very good homes with lots of love, morals and values and yet the end up making horrible life choices. There are also plenty of people who were raised in homes full of chaos, abuse and no structure and they end up being very responsible people. I know you did your best in raising your daughter and that you love her very much. I know this because you found your way here. The environment in which our children are raised is just one part of who they end up becoming. We are not the only influence in their lives. There is also the factor of genetics. My son's bio-dad dropped out his life when he was 4, so there was very little influence from him on my son's life, yet my son is exactly like his bio-dad. It is hard to watch our adult children's life spiral out of control. We can no longer "kiss their boo boos" and make everything better. We have no control over the choices they make. The only control we have is in our own lives. Again, please do not harbor any guilt. I know it's easier said than done but by letting that go you will free yourself from so much anxiety. I'm really glad you are here with us. Keep posting and let us know how things are going, or just vent if you need to. ((HUGS)) to you...................... [/QUOTE]
