[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 518858"] Oh Nancy - I so feel for you... and I know how you feel too.. Our difficult children are so similar. So keeping busy is good. I am not sure it is possible to completely put her out of your mind... that may be an unrealistic goal right now. I know what has helped me in the past is to let myself have some "stew" moments where I would let myself feel the pain....and then get up and move on to something else. It is funny but when I go to church I often sit there crying because somehow that is a place where my feelings all come out. But keep finding other things to do, do things you enjoy doing, even if you feel somewhat preoccupied by thoughts of her. You are right there IS nothing you can do at this point. You have done all you can do. Over time I think it gets easier.... and remember letting go is a process. At this point I kind of hope she gets arrested soon... that may be the best thing for her right now to stop her self destructive behavior. Hugs, TL [/QUOTE]
