[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 622292, member: 4152"] Cedar, I do believe I understand. husband and I are already arguing a little because when he retires, he is adament that we will be moving about four hours away from difficult child. I would like to help set her up about an hour away so that we can check up on her now and then. He says he doesn't care the potential outcome and he really means it. I understand, but have conflict. However, we can't watch her at all times, nor should we. And a difficult child can get in trouble at any time. BUT, in the end, you can NOT be responsible for the choices your adult daughter makes and neither can I with mine. My daughter knows she is I'll and I'm happy that she usually makes the choice to take her medications. But she could also make the choice to see a therapist and/or to check risky decisions with her one healthy friend...but right nOw, she rarely Does. I don't mean to be confusing or contradictory....but one thing I know for sure is you (we) are not responsible for the choices if another; in particular another adult, even our adult children difficult child's. Don't put that on yourself. I'm so sorry you are hurting. You are in my thoughts and prayers. [/QUOTE]
