[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 728422, member: 13542"] MII, I have a similar background however, instead of alcohol in my bio-family, it was mental illness. Adult children of those environments often have similar issues. I too have many years of therapy under my belt (thankfully). That's my experience with my daughter as well. Sigh. There's a lot to let go of on this path. Me too. It took me awhile, but I had to accept that is who my daughter is too....all of my worrying, fears and judgments of her lifestyle made no difference at all.....what made a difference was when I erected unbreakable boundaries, limited contact, put my focus on myself giving myself compassion and kindness.......and ultimately accepting what I can't change. You seem to have reached that point of no return......the point where we wake up to the reality....you sound resolved, strong and committed. We'll be here for you as you travel this road...... You WILL get thru this and find your own life again, your own joy and your own lightheartedness...... [/QUOTE]
