[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 677383, member: 19905"] Yes, I think this is the beginning of "detaching with love," but also the beginning of acceptance. At least it was for me, and it felt very strange to "accept" my daughter as she is. I spent so much time fighting against it, trying to fix and correct it, "figure it out," that I couldn't accept that there was nothing for ME to make things change. It has to come from her. I accept that this is who my daughter is today. I accept that this is her situation, not mine. I hope this isn't the person she remains forever, but I accept that she may get worse before she gets better...and she may not ever get better. Accepting the things we cannot change is part of the Serenity prayer for a reason. [/QUOTE]
