[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 607589, member: 13542"] Enabler, your last post says it all I think. One daughter takes responsibility, one doesn't. Unfortunately, we parents will drive ourselves into the grave trying to help our kids and no matter what the issue is, you can only help another when they are willing to help themselves. You and your wife have done enough. You and your wife have done an exemplary job. Parents just keep on going and going trying and trying and it sounds to me as if you have done all you can do. At some point, we reach the point where we know we've done all we can do, we've turned over every single rock, we've exhausted ourselves plugging up holes as our kids punch out new ones. At some point, we must just stop. It sounds to me, regardless of what your daughter has or doesn't have, or [U]what [/U]the issue is, YOU and your wife need help and support for YOU so you can heal and learn to detach from your daughter's choices.
