[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 256770, member: 1545"] Your post reminds me of the old saying that goes something like "A relationship can only be as healthy as the least healthy person in the relationship" (sorry a pretty bad paraphrase - but you get the drift). So - the thing is that your relationship with your daughter is going to be pretty rocky until she gets her act together. Your feelings are very understandable. If might help to sort out your feelings in terms of her behaviors (I don't like her behaviors) versus your feelings about her as a human being (I love my daughter as a person). Sometimes that helps me. One of the best books I have ever read is 'Boundaries'. There is also a "Boundaries with Kids" by the same authors. It really had helped me to figure out how to engage with people who are not healthy. I might recommend you try getting a copy. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
