[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 656440, member: 18284"] TTA -- Hello and welcome to the group (I'm not on here super often, so I may've missed your initial entry into the group). I sure feel you in your post. Been there, done that. You are not alone at all. First thing..........Wow. What are the odds that your daughters would know each other? Small world at times, no? Second thing..... You wrote many insightful words of perspective about your daughter's situations and her choices. I used to have the same thought, "If not this drug dealer, than the next." True. In our case, we got a clear look at how true that is -- our son moved to several other homes (even in different cities) from ages 16-18 (long story) and in every city he went to he found the drugs and the crime. It's a magnet for him. In his youth, he wasn't really cognizant of that. Now he clearly is aware. I think you're right on about your perceptions. I don't know her and I don't know you.......so please forgive me if I speak out of turn. I just hear your heart in your words. I think you are strong! And, yes.......you are ok to "let go". Nope. The world of Pleasantville and white picket fences will never understand this. But we do. We live it, too. It's hard. Boundaries don't limit love.....they only limit pain. We're all with you in support! [/QUOTE]
