[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 183497, member: 1157"] Detachment does get easier with time. There are always specific circumstances that are more difficult than others, but overall, saying "no" and not rescuing, comes more easily. And yes, they do survive, somehow. I'm watching Oldest go through another cycle now of quitting another job, breaking down and threatening to admit herself (but not doing it), conning Xanax and/or Ativan out of the ER staff for a panic attack, and somehow convincing another boyfriend to "take care" of her. All interspersed with partying at night and having so much fun she's dancing on top of the bars with friends. Yeah, they figure it out, somehow. [/QUOTE]
