[QUOTE="Alejandra, post: 713744, member: 21917"] Hi all! So glad I found this forum! Still haven't share my story and this is my first post but my story very similar to others here... just felt I have to said something because you guys are answering many questions I still have. I'm doing much better that a year ago, I got help attending Nar-Anon, working the 12 steps for codependency, talking to a counselor , reading books, surfing the internet, meditation and yoga and joining support groups for mom's of addicts and mental illness. My daughter have Borderline (BPD) even thought she won't accepted, bipolar and drug addiction in denial for this too., she is 34 and a very smart , talented girl that of course keep making bad choices and finally a year ago lost everything, her apartment, her car , quit her job , in and out of hospitals ( many times) as a right now sober (for the 4th time) starting again the vicious cycle . I'm getting good at the detachment thing( not that easy ) and taking care of myself, enjoying life with my hard working husband, our two little doxies and our hard working son . One of the questions I have is...when my daughter calls me and start talking about her drama because of her bad choices, do I just listen to her? Change the subject? Tell her , I don't want to hear? Like I said, I'm much better about listen and not let it get to me, but seriously , I prefer not know because there is nothing I can do...this use to be a cause of lots of stress for me , not anymore because I have learned but the less I know the better for me.
