[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 738317, member: 19522"] Oh boy KSM. You have been through the proverbial ringer, doing everything you possible can to help your two daughters. When my eldest turned 18, she dove head first into the rabbit hole. I made her leave the house and she ended up with a gangster type boyfriend, he treated her terribly, she drifted and couch surfed. When they broke up, he left a dead kitten in her bag. GULP. It turns my stomach to write that. Yup. He ended up in California, victim of a drive by shooting. My daughter is attracted to low lifes. Sigh. Both of them. The wall. I work hard at building it and maintaining hope without expectations, and stopping myself from teetering over the bottomless pit they live in. It is a series of chaos and despicable choices that I have no control over. Tornado has been trying to reach me from jail, I have decided to try and speak with her, but the automated system is quirky and doesn’t work to add my credit card. Maybe that is fate stepping in. I expect more of the same “get me out of here” I think the anger is part of the grieving we go through not only for the choices our d cs make, but for the precious time we spent, and lost, trying to save them from themselves. So, feel what you need to feel and let it out in healthy ways. We are only human after all. You are one tough cookie. I am glad that you were able to go on your dream trip. How awesome! So sorry for the Jerry Springer stuff you came home to. I have to learn from my well children to sigh and roll my eyeballs and say “Typical!” That’s what they do with the latest version of crazy my two get themselves into. Hang in there sis, circling the wagons and praying for your peace of mind. I have realized that no matter my reaction, my two will do what they wish. Staying steady state and focusing on my own well being has been the mission. It is a work in progress. I hope you are able to keep moving forward and stay strong. 18 for 6 weeks. Wow. Brings back memories. It’s amazing what they can get themselves into. So sorry for the sting of it. Keep working on that wall, and maintain those boundaries. You are not alone.
