[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 494936"] Oh (((HUGS))) you have certainly been through the ringer! Unfortunately, it is true. They [I]have[/I] to hit bottom. I have been waiting for my daughter to hit bottom for over a year now. Hasn't happened yet. Not a night goes by that I don't obssess about where she is sleeping, how she is eating, etc. I am very codependant. When she is happy, I am happy and when she is going through turmoil, well, I feel every bit of it, too. It is so so hard to not rescue them. That is what we are supposed to do right? We are mommas. But every single time I rescued her it only kept her antics going. So now I realize that letting her hit bottom [I]is[/I] saving her. I am just waiting for that to happen and not so patiently....I have seen maturity in her lately and she is thinking about her future. Something she never did while living at home. Keep coming back here - it is a great place and has been my rock for well over a year now! :) [/QUOTE]
