[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 410386, member: 84"] Aw sweetie, honestly? After dealing with my katie who is not to the degree of your daughter........well I think maybe she's not but one can never be sure as I've been practicing detachment with her for more than a decade........I'd say no. Simply due to the it's going to be more of the same only probably with even more drama as there are going to be other people involved as well.......and in the end you simply lose money in the process. The biggest problem in raising mentally ill children is that society is never going to truly ever understand what it is like simply because they don't live the day in and day out with it. People will judge you no matter what decision you make, and many of them harshly simply due to ignorance/lack of experience. Bottom line is that you have to do what in your heart and mind you feel is right for you and that you can live with. Your daughter is an adult you have no control over now. But you have control over what life you live at this point and you can make choices that make your life more peaceful and happy. It doesn't make you a bad person to want to do so. You've certainly earned it. I stopped worrying over my reputation years ago. I know there are people who wonder why I don't jump in and help katie........and I'm sure she's telling people some wild stories as to why I'm not. But I don't worry about those things. I can't control that. I can only control my own life and what I will and will not tolerate in it. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
