[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 609525, member: 1550"] I'm glad you're taking time to think about it. Is there any reason for you to believe she will be different? Are you willing to go through hello if you have to? We can't tell you what to do, but the past is usually a good predictor of the present is her history UNLESS there has been a profound change in her...an awakening that you can see, feel and sense. Remember, that you and other family members are as important as she is. While you are deciding, I would talk to a good therapist to help you sort things out. The therapist is not emotionally involved so perhaps you can get some good feedback from a non-partison observer. I think you need to realize that you can not help your daughter anymore. It is up to her to help herself. You can certainly assist her if she ASKS for help, but you can't force it on her at her age, even if she lives with you. Hugs and luck whatever you decide to do. I do realize how hard this is. It was and still is hard for me too. I just think I got tired of wrapping my life around my dysfunctional kids and decided that they had to do it...I needed to move on. That can take time. And you may need help doing it, if daughter does not decide to get her head together. [/QUOTE]
