[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 714601, member: 19832"] I am in the same boat as you with a 36 year old borderline daughter, grandchildren - similar heartbreak, crises, and worry. RecoveringE's advice is spot on about getting support, counseling. I also read and reread posts and attend 12 step. I am determined to detach with love and reclaim my life because I am ultimately powerless over anyone else's behavior. I still enable, but the truth is that I am coming more and more to understand that money only delays the inevitable, it doesn't prevent it, and when I I enable I operate under the false belief that I am in control, and that I enable to stop my own fears. The best gift you can give is to learn to take care of yourself in a loving way. It is not selfish to do that. [/QUOTE]
