[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 414953, member: 1157"] Ugh. I do think you need to distance yourself from the whole lot of them, for now. As frustrating as it is, the choice to enable your daughter is your parents', and not yours to deal with. Repeat to yourself: "this is not my problem. this is not my problem." Do not allow them to throw any guilt in your direction. Cut off phone calls that want to drag you into the drama, say "I really can't talk about this right now" and hang up. Delete texts without reading them in their entirety, or even block texts and phone calls for the time being. Detach yourself physically, and you will slowly gain more strength to detach emotionally. I'm so sorry. What a mess. But again, [I]this is not your problem[/I].. rinse, lather, repeat... [/QUOTE]
