[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 732658, member: 22313"] Thanks SWOT. I agree. I am hopeful that this is a step toward change. As for her boyfriend he's been diagnosed with MDD with psychosis. Hospitalized 2 times according to his parents. He seems like a gentle person otherwise but maybe drinking and substance abuse too and my daughter has severe rage issues which probably played into the incident that got them where they are now. I want my daughter to expect better of herself and for herself. Life is not easy but it certainly doesn't have to be this complicated. She has rendered herself helpless and thinks of herself as an incapable victim. I do have a son, 15, complete opposite and doing well in school and always had a sunny attitude. From birth these two were so different. He thankfully was not home today during all this. But he is aware of her drinking and pot smoking. He has distanced himself from her....well actually she has distanced herself too from the family for the last few years. I have some support but probably need to be more committed to Alanon and finding a therapist again. Alanon is good but I just can't seem to keep going with it for long periods. I don't know why. I read a lot of the codependency books...just finished Codependent No More and have One Day at a Time by my bedside. [/QUOTE]
