[QUOTE="STILLjustamom, post: 53775, member: 1580"] The hardest part of having adult children like this is the letting go. Definitely the hardest part. It is not in our nature as parents. I was reading about this very thing last night in a book called "Free Inside & Out" (it is faith based). It was saying how you can still love someone unconditionally, but if their behavior is toxic, then you should love them "from a distance". Doesn't mean you stop loving them. This decision of hers does not mean she does not love you either, but for whatever reason she wants to be on her own. Sure, not a really great choice on her part, but a choice none the less. I don't know if you are a spiritual person or not, but my faith has held me together during the last few years and has actually even increased due to things I've been through. Even if you aren't, try to get some perspective, perhaps by confiding in a trusted friend or posting as you are here. She knows your number, and at some point she will probably recharge her phone. Take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
