[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 667964, member: 5689"] Yes, Proudmama, that indeed sounds like hell. No special insight and advice from here -- just warmest wishes for the strength and courage you'll need to get through this time. Having read a lot on this site I do believe in detachment, but I totally know what you mean about loving your daughter and wanting to ease the pain that underlies her behaviors. Try to be good to yourself, give yourself a little time to think, maybe ask your husband to put aside his anger for now so that you can come up with a plan together (I assume his anger is just the way he's channeling his pain, and he needs help with re-channeling). People do seem to swear by Al-Anon, and couple's therapy can help, too (I even went with my already-ex-husband for a few sessions and found it worthwhile). But start just by being kind to yourself and trying to get a good night's sleep. The answers will come. As SomewhereOutThere said, hugs and keep posting. [/QUOTE]
