[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 763032, member: 4152"] That anxiety and sorrow is all too familiar. Many of us have gotten support from 12 step programs like NA, Families Anonymous. It’s helpful to be with other parents or (sometimes various loved ones)who are or who have been pushing through extremely similar circumstances. Our daughter is in her early thirties. We tried everything to help her live a normal and happy life. Great effort was made (this is an understatement) yet she blew it all to heck and has zero remorse or gratitude for all that was done on her behalf. She continues to make horrible decisions and expects us to fix it all. We are beyond tired and have removed ourselves from the craziness. We help her very minimally (cell phone) and communicate with her very minimally. That’s all we can handle… She plays that “family” card thing. Yet…she is not willing to cooperate with anyone or be grateful for anything and brings much heartache. It’s important/vital to set boundaries and yes…be strong. Those support groups are helpful And there are many wise, experienced folks here as well. [/QUOTE]
