[QUOTE="SuperG, post: 659607, member: 19130"] Hi Julie, and welcome. I feel your pain. I was a single mom of an only child (daughter) and I can relate to much of what you're expressing. I'm new here too. You will find great (honest) support here. Get yourself a copy of CoDependent No More by Melody Beattie right away. I also recommend Boundaries by Henry Cloud AND Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children by Allison Bottke. I did so much that I thought was helpful when raising my daughter. I'm only just NOW finally realizing that I was enabling the whole time. There's a different kind of dynamic with single moms of only daughters. I think we need to start a thread JUST for that topic, LOL. I'm learning that it's all about baby-steps at this point. Nothing will change overnight, but your reaction/response can start to change right now. I hope you have a peaceful weekend :-) [/QUOTE]
