[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 318899, member: 3388"] Julie, I'm not really familiar with Betsy's past. I just read this and want you to know I'm thinking of your daughter and you... What a horrible situation for you to be in. You want so much to help Betsy, and yet, she is legally an adult. in my humble opinion, all you can do is what you're already doing - Be there for her, let her know how much you love her, and provide as much guidance as she is willing to accept. However, it is her life. It is up to her at this point to begin to help herself. Unless she wants to move out of her new boyfriend's home, in my humble opinion, I don't think there is much you can do. I'm sorry... Of course, I'm really not the best one to give advice on the PE forum. My oldest, difficult child 1, has only been living on his own for about five months. I'm sure others with much more experience, who know much more about your situation than I do, will be along shortly to offer "words of wisdom." I'm at the point where I'm trying hard to detach from difficult child 1. Some days are easier than others... I just keep plugging away at it, not always sure I'm doing the right thing. However, I can only imagine how hard it is to detach when you think your daughter might try to hurt herself:sad-very:... Sending you lots of hugs and hoping and praying Betsy finds the strength she needs to move forward... SFR [/QUOTE]
