[QUOTE="Bean, post: 383653, member: 8620"] You and me both!!! Witz, no it just doesn't. I did have a good talk with the counselor today. It has been helpful to bounce things off of someone other than my husband, that is for sure. My plan is to speak with my parents. Tell them my concerns, but also tell them that I am not able to talk about my daughter with them anymore. Not about her drinking, smoking, stealing, lying, using, abusing, etc. Nothing. Not for a while. If they would like her to live there, that is their choice. I am going to strongly suggest they seek regular, continued outside help, though. Right now, I'm the only one who is seeking help, has gone to Al-anon, contacted parent support, counseling. As dismayed as I am with the continued situation, I'm finally able to detach (slowly, but it's working) and focus on other things. I can't force anyone else to make the same moves. And, as long as they are wound up in the sickness of codependency, I tend to end up dancing right along with them. I just can't do it anymore. I really have to allow myself to move on. [/QUOTE]
