[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 158828, member: 84"] Welcome to the board. It's awful when you have an adult child on self destruct, because there is little you can do to help if they don't want the help. Can you make attending domestic volence therapy sessions at your local women's shelter a condition of her staying at home?? Maybe do the same for regular type counseling? Sometimes exposure to that type of therapy, even without cooperation, eventually soaks in enough for a person to want to make a change. Notice I said "sometimes" But you can't do it for her. She has to want it and be willing to work for it. All you can do is be there to be supportive when she's ready. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
