[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 664711, member: 18516"] Welcome Tyrrell, I'm sorry you have had to endure all of this with your daughter. You obviously recognized that you were enabling her and stopped. I also think contacting her Dr.s was a good thing even though the consequences for you was your daughter closing the door to you and keeping you from seeing your grandchildren. It was very brave of you to do this as many won't because they are too afraid. I think this a good thing for you to do. Currently they are only being allowed to see her side. Perhaps you can write your daughter a letter explaining how you feel. Of course if you do this there is no guarantee that she will be receptive but at least you know you have made the effort. Sometimes the relationships with our Difficult Child will never be healed in the way we would like. This is true for me as my son is 33 and wondering around the southwest states. I have had to come to accept his life choices. Doesn't mean I like it but with the acceptance it frees me from holding onto something that may never happen. I will always have hope that someday............... but until that "someday" I have to live my life. I'm glad you found our little corner of the world. It's a great group of people. One suggestion: Is your avatar picture of you? If so, you may want to change it as we try to maintain being anonymous, you never know. ((HUGS)) to you......................... [/QUOTE]
