[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 677622, member: 18516"] Hi So, I'm just not seeing this post. I'm so glad others responded. It is hard to watch our children suffer, it goes against our motherly instinct, for most of us anyway. Your daughter is a mother and she continues to put her child in situations that are unhealthy. I understand your daughter is trying and that is great. It's good that she signed up for school and likes it. Your daughter has made the choices she has to surround herself with people who do not have her best interest at heart and until SHE chooses to find different playmates not much will change. The good thing is she is making an effort, it's a start. Just like when an alcoholic stops drinking, it's a process. While they may stop the physical aspect of drinking, if they continue to go bars or hang out with people who drink they will have a very difficult time sticking to it and making positive changes. It is going to take time and continued effort on your daughters part for her life's circumstances to really improve. You are not a horrible person for not taking her in. It's not your place to take care of your 40 year old daughter. While it may not be the way you had hoped her life would go, your daughter is 40 and she has managed to muddle through. You have been there for her time and time again, you have put your own financial well being at risk by helping her. There is nothing more you can do for her but love her. She has to figure this out on her own and she will. It may not be what you would like or want and that is where we as the parents of these Difficult Child have to accept it. Just step back, slow down and breathe. Take care of yourself. Get away from her drama. Go for a drive or walk. Go to the zoo, go to a movie, take a long bubble bath, rearrange the furniture, just do something other than worrying about something you have no control over. BIG HUGS to you............:hugs: [/QUOTE]
