[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 665437, member: 13542"] I thought that same thing COM, those drinks are loaded with caffeine. And when I am overtired and drink caffeine, I can get in a talkative mode too. That is my experience with my daughter too. And, I have to ask her sometimes to stop since it is stressful for me. She is learning to edit herself around me. I feel exactly the same way, it's much better the less I actually know since my daughter makes choices and lives in ways that tend to engage me in my "fear then fix" mode. That is the crux of it, isn't it COM? Our acceptance of them, as they are. You're doing a wonderful job all around. It is another step on the path, however, your ability to see clearly, detach, accept and tell yourself the truth of each situation has deepened, grown and become a part of who you are now..... Boundaries and limits, what we've all learned to be the basic building blocks of a new way to love our adult kids. Thanks for the update COM. [/QUOTE]
