[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 718852, member: 13542"] Butterfly, you may find some solace in the article on detachment at the bottom of my post here. You may also find info and guidance in the book, Codependent no more by Melodie Beattie. It may be prudent for you and your husband to find a therapist well versed in addictions and codependency, this path is extremely difficult and most of us require professional help. You can search for therapists on Psychology Today and goodtherapy.org. You are enmeshed in a broken system where the alcoholic calls the shots. You didn't cause this and you can't fix it. Our kids go off the rails for many reasons, you are not responsible for her. Your guilt will keep you stuck. Remember the adage, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results." Get yourself support, learn how to set strong boundaries, stop the enabling and continue posting. I'm so sorry you are going through this. The only way it will stop is if you stop it. [/QUOTE]
