[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 633169, member: 13542"] Welcome Needza, yes, you are allowed....... and in fact deserving of ............and entitled to, ask her to leave and to get your life back. It sounds as if you, like most of us here, have given all you can and you've now hit your own wall.........being sick and tired of being sick and tired and being mistreated, disrespected, manipulated, lied to, stolen from and in general abused by your adult child. It sounds as if it's time to learn to detach and accept what is. A tough road for sure. You may want to read the article on detachment at the bottom of my post here. Here on the PE side of the site, we are generally in various stages of the detachment process. You may want to read Codependent no more by Melodie Beattie. 12 step groups help; therapy; parent groups; anywhere YOU can find support for YOU. You've done all you can do for your daughter. You can't change her. But you can learn how to respond differently and as a result feel a whole lot better about yourself. Most of us need support to shift into that, it's very hard to do this, it goes against our own parenting desires and instincts. Keep posting, get support, read books, get enough sleep, eat well, take the focus off of your daughter and place it on YOU. That alone will begin to help you. You're not alone. We all know how you feel. I'm glad you're here. [/QUOTE]
