[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658828, member: 1550"] I saw this just now. You may not like it, but you can not change another person one bit. Instead of, I suspect, talking to her nonstop it is best to let go and what will happen will happen. You can only change YOU and the way YOU deal with your difficulty letting go of this grown woman. You have taught her right from wrong and now she is old enough that it is up to her to decide whether to accept your values or reject them. Overtalking to adult kids leads to them tuning us out and even leaving us. You must have a life of your own. We all must. It is wasting our own life to live through our children. I used to do this. It didn't feel good. Don't make my mistake. [/QUOTE]
