[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 495838, member: 2315"] hello and welcome. I too had to put my adult child out of my home. Actually two of them. One is doing fairly well while the other is not getting it and revolves in and out of prison. He lived on the streets for a while and I too worried when it was cold or if he had enough to eat. It took a while to realize that my efforts to help him were futile as long as he would not help himself. It is hard to learn how to not enable especially when there is mental illness involved. Finally after a horrible dark time, that only my little grandchildren saved me from ( they were my only bright spot a true becon in the storm), I was able to let go and start to live again. You are indeed doing all the right things. Recovering from co-dependancy is a process that evolves one day at a time. I am glad your grand daughter is doing well in spite of all she has endured. I am also gald you have each other. [/QUOTE]
