[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 654365, member: 18516"] This is it in a nutshell. Getting to the point of realization that you cannot "fix or change" your adult child and letting it go. To stop focusing all your precious energy on them and start focusing on yourself. Processing all the emotions that go with it, love, anger, confusion, hope, despair, whatever it may be, feel it and embrace it, learn from it. Most of all, it's ok to have the emotions. There were times that I really thought I hated my son and I hated myself for having those feelings. It wasn't until I started to detach and work through all of my emotions that I realized I didn't hate him, I hated what he was doing to himself and our family. This is something that cannot be rushed, it takes time and the time frame is different for each one of us. Each day you grow a little stronger and a little wiser. [/QUOTE]
