[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 583643, member: 13542"] Welcome Minntana, I'm glad you found us. I'm sorry you're going through this hard time with your daughter. If you read some of our posts here, you will find you are not alone. I am running out the door now, but I just wanted to welcome you and say this, many times as parents we try so hard and do so much for our kids and when they turn their backs on us, for whatever reason and for however long, we feel we must keep 'doing' something. But, there is nothing to do. Your daughter has for right now anyway, made a choice, perhaps until she can come to grips with some accountability for her actions, I don't know, but you sound as if you've been a great dad and done as much as you can do. You may want to read the article at the bottom of my post here on detachment, it's helpful. And, for at least right now, you've done all you can do. Go on with your life, keep her in your thoughts, keep letting her know you love her, which is what you're already doing, and for right now, let go. She likely knows she has messed up and she may need time to work that out for herself. Heartbreak is common around here, you're in good company. We do our best, that's all any of us can do. Glad you're here. Keep posting, it helps........ [/QUOTE]
