We all know how tough it is to navigate to detachment as the parent of a difficult child.
Where (and how in the world) is the child of a difficult child going to find the knowledge and the courage to detach from her own difficult child parent?
Think of all the ways our difficult child children manipulate us. Now, imagine the difficult child is your own mom.
I am going to research Al-Anon and NAMI groups in that area. I don't know what else to do.
I think what you will tell me is that I need to stay out of it.
I can hardly believe this is happening. The manipulations are so blatant, and the children so vulnerable and powerless and confused.
