[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713929, member: 1550"] To me detaching with love means you will always love the person but you are sadly aware that nothing you can ever do will change anything for her...so you stop involving yourself in the persons usually overly dramatic life. You love them but stop giving your health and peace and life to the person. These truly adult offspring make the worst choices, such as your daughters landing a job when she is jobless and wavering on whether or not to take it. Guarantee you if you offer her even a nugget she will remain jobless. Dont enable bad choices in my opinion. Let her sink or swim on her own. She is no longer that cute little girl who needed you to bandage her knee. Dont see her as little. See her as the adult she is. She is an 34 and you cant help her anymore. She has to do it. Remember that important 1st step. All of us are powerless over what others do. If you have a higher power, give her to God. [/QUOTE]
