[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 757306, member: 15032"] Welcome back. I do remember your name but forgot your story. I just wanted to respond to you and say that absolutely she needs to move out. She needs to hit rock bottom so she can crawl back up to the top and it sounds like everyone around her is enabling her. Not criticizing you, we've all done it! I'd imagine she is an alcoholic and that is why she seems to be mentally ill. That's usually the case isn't it? They are normal if they quit their "addiction". Or they may have some anxiety or depression or something like many many people. It's very sad, we don't want this for our kids. We hate to see them struggle. I've learned I cannot live my son's life for him. I still try to control everything (I am the adult daughter of an alcoholic and that is one of the side effects). I have to remind myself of that. It is so hard to let go. You cannot control your daughter's life but you can and you MUST control your life. Your son deserves a peaceful home. We sent our son away at 20 after many rehabs and him not changing and now he is much better. Once he realized we were DONE. Once I started to care about myself again and knew I had to stop the madness. He was not capable of stopping it. Nothing changes if nothing changes. All things I have learned here. I found a therapist that specialized in addiction. That was very helpful for me. I tried Al-anon but did not find comfort there as many others do. I also prayed for my son constantly. Night and day. My faith got me through it. Do whatever YOU need to do for YOURSELF and your family to survive this. Hugs and prayers and please keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
