[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 616197, member: 13542"] Welcome Onesickmama. I am sorry you are going through this with your daughter. Many of us have been in your shoes. It's a tough path we find ourselves on, but as you mentioned, it is VERY good to know we are not alone. The article at the bottom of my post here is a very good one, on detachment, the skill we have to learn with our adult kids. It is a process and takes time to navigate, but it will help to improve the quality of your life and give you tools to learn how to begin the process of disconnecting from your daughter in healthy and productive ways. It's important to discern what it is that you want, what you are willing to do and what you are not willing to do. Often we need professional support to figure that out and then learn how to implement our desires. It is reasonable to begin weaning your daughter of the perks that you financially provide.......... You might try NAMI, they offer good courses for parents and can help with resources. Personally I required a therapist and a support group for parents, I could not have done this alone. It is very important to get as much support as you possibly can because this is a difficult process for us parents. I'm glad you found us. Keep posting, it really helps. Keep yourself well supported. Wishing you peace.......... [/QUOTE]
