[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 697175, member: 19838"] Hi dakini - I understand you having to cut off funding because this would have only made your daughter more vulnerable in the position she is in. You know I have a rescuer mentality and I can get swept away by people who I think need to "fight" the world with them. That is the heart and nature of my codependency and this might be something your daughter is feeling if it isn't outright drug abuse along with him. Evidently she is finding her bliss in a parking lot even if to us it seems crazy. One day I witnessed a nicely dressed 40 year old ish woman screaming and giving a younger woman and man - homeless - some clothes in the Target parking lot. It appeared to be her mother. I could relate to this scenario. At any rate I have learned with my Difficult Child who isn't in a place I would choose for him the dignity of his own life and detaching with love. I also am learning in small ways how to protect my heart and not be drug through the mud but also still interacting with him in a way that puts it back on him, such as , "I'm sure you have everything within to find the way you choose." I learned to do that here in these forums. [/QUOTE]
