[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 710888, member: 1967"] She may not be using heroin but she is still very much an addict. You are in a very co-dependent relationship. I recognize it because I was in one with my daughter, too. I needed the help of two years of therapy to learn that I was in one and how to set and stick to firm boundaries. Your daughter has a college degree and the ability to earn a living. It is not your job to be her emotional or financial support. Suggest a therapist for her emotional problems and back away. I know it is hard to detach but it is truly freeing when you extract yourself from the emotional chaos our troubled loved ones bring into our lives. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
