[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 665515, member: 18958"] Seeking Peace, your daughter will use everything she can to manipulate you. Your love, your worry, your hope. I do not know why it is so. But they do. When I first started getting stronger my son came up with this story that he was stabbed, hospitalized and had surgery (all without a call to me). I was appalled. So I posted. It turns out this is a commonly used story. About 6 other parents wrote back that they had gotten the same story. This should strengthen your resolve to pull back. Nothing you did for her, it seems, helped her to help herself or to protect herself. The will to do so, she must find in herself. The will to choose right. To respect the right of our children to live their own lives, we show our belief in them. That they can do the right thing for others and for themselves. By doing this we demonstrate faith in ourselves...that we have done our jobs as parents. We let go. And trust.... [/QUOTE]
