[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 658868, member: 11791"] Guilt. Classic "mom" disease. Especially guilt now about what could happen in the future. She is an adult. You are extremely limited in what you CAN do to get help for her. Unless SHE wants help, she isn't going to get any. You cannot force her to get help. Nothing you can do or say will make her get help - or force her to not get help. [I]This is on HER, not you[/I]. Therefore, whatever she choses to do is on her, not on you. Which is much easier to SAY right now, from my quiet little corner, than it is to FEEL that way when we are in the middle of a pending/on-going crisis. [/QUOTE]
