[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675813, member: 19522"] Hi soootired, glad to hear from you, but sorry it has been stressful for you. My eldest is 36, and on a crazy path of homelessness, so I know the angst of it.... This is good, me too, simply [I]can not and will not happen[/I]. Too, much drama and craziness...... It is hard not to get caught up in our d cs life decisions, they are our kids, we love them, want the best for them. Mine comes over every once in a blue moon, last two times, complete opposite, first time in 3 months-depressed and down,(sent me into a tailspin, but I hung on and didn't let her back home) second time a week or so later, high as a kite and chatting on about her life as a homeless person....gulp. It never ceases to amaze me, how emotionally tied I am, and how absolutely wrecked I become. So, I have figured that I have physically detached, not so successfully emotionally....but I am working on it. Well I think that Cedars link will help you. You do not have to be her sounding board, especially if she chooses to stay with her SO, and the conversation drains you. Change the subject. If she persists, let her know you love her, but she needs to speak with a therapist, it is too hard and heartbreaking for you to listen to anymore. Keep conversations simple, and try not to get sucked in to the drama (I am writing to myself as well ;)) K.I.S.S. theory (Keep It Simple Sweetie) Take care dear, and live[I][B] your life to the fullest.[/B][/I] Our girls are well beyond their child years, and we have done our rearing.....
