[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 697113, member: 17720"] Welcome, Dakini. I am sorry you had to find us. That is unfortunate, Dakini. It sounds like he might be a real manipulator, the little $#!+. I also thought that your daughter was much younger when I first read your post. At 28 years old, her choice is very much her own, as hard as that is for you. Believe me, I know it is hard. My son finally has a bed at a shelter after getting himself stranded in the Midwest and hitchhiking all over the country and much more that I won't go into right now. It certainly isn't the life I would have picked for my son. Yet he sees OUR lives as very stifling. He says he is happiest when he lives on the edge. As an adult he gets to decide for himself how he wants to live his life. What your daughter is doing certainly isn't the life you would want for her, and you certainly don't have to support it. Other than that, what can you do, Dakini? She is well into adulthood. There is little else you can do, other than telling her you love her the next time you see her and continuing to stand back. I feel confident that her ties to her family are stronger than her ties to Mr. $#!+. I'm sure there is a lot of stress on that relationship. I think she will be back in your lives, Dakini. You are not alone. Keep posting and reading. It helps. [/QUOTE]
