[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 752528, member: 23405"] I'm glad that you are in a "better place". Part of the "detachment" for me with my sons was really detaching myself also from what I had always hoped they'd become. My plans, hopes and dreams of what we'd all "look like" together. I think it's very natural for parents to have expectations of what we want our family and children to be and when that doesn't happen it's like a dagger to our hearts. Accepting that right now this is the journey my sons have to travel to learn the things they're supposed to learn in life is very important for me in my recovery from enabling and rescuing them.
