[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 571312, member: 13542"] Hi Dash, post as much as you want about your daughter and her issues, this is the one place you can do it and get heard by others who really know what you are going through. That 'why' is a killer isn't it? It's the one question we can't answer, yet always search in vain for the answer to. I understand that in a very personal way having been born to two parents who were never diagnosed, but clearly displayed bi-polar symptoms as well as other problems which manifested in a skewered reality. Two siblings, a cousin, a niece a nephew and my only child all live in that skewered reality too. It is a sort of prison, you're right about that and for whatever reason, known only to them, they choose to stay within the confines of that prison by the choices they make. I don't know why. I've had a lot of help to learn how to make distinctions between what I can do, when I have to let go, how to set boundaries and when the only thing left to do is learn to accept what is. It's been very very hard at times, I've had to do this with almost every single person in my family. I suffered most when I asked myself that unanswerable question...........why?.......... I have no answers for you. I'm just another Mom here whose heart has been permanently scarred by what I can't fix in those I love. I'm sorry, I do know how you feel. You aren't alone on this lonely road, there are quite a few of us walking beside you.............many gentle hugs............ [/QUOTE]
