[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 701414, member: 13542"] Kathryn, another resource you may try is NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. You can reach them online and they have chapters in many cities. I contacted them here in Northern Ca. and they were amazing. They offer courses for parents which offer so much info, guidance and resources. You and I are the same age so I can completely understand how worn out you are......[U][B][I]make sure you take care of YOU.[/I][/B][/U] I also attended CODA 12 step groups in addition to a 2year long codependency course lead by therapists here in the largest HMO in this area, it was invaluable, and because I'm a member, it was simply a copay. Get yourself in as many supportive environments as you can.......as you begin to change, [I]everything will change. [/I] Books that helped me were, [U]Codependent no more,[/U] by Melodie Beatty; [U]The Power of Now[/U] and [U]the New earth,[/U] by Eckhart Tolle; [U]Comfortable with Uncertainty[/U], [U]Living beautifully[/U], [U]The places that scare you[/U] and [U]When things fall apar[/U]t, all by Pema Chodron. [U]Man'[/U]s s[U]earch for Meaning[/U] by Viktor Frankl is also excellent. Immerse yourself in environments, books, forums, counselors and classes that empower you and offer various ways of changing and seeing things differently. The situation with my daughter was so dismal I sought as much help and support as I could and remarkably, my entire life changed for the ([I][U]WAY[/U][/I]) better. We have the power to change, to grow, to heal, to thrive......use it......and hang in there, keep posting, it will get better. [/QUOTE]
