[QUOTE="Denise2017, post: 755973, member: 21870"] Thanks again dear Copabanana and kind, caring community. The saga still continues. She is still asking to live here and I am still saying no. I feel a little better sometimes when I get out of the house and away from the phone—which I call the bad news machine... I am trying. Trying. My therapist says the decision not the let her live here is a huge decision. But my daughter is relentless and I am exhausted. But I will not let her live here. I could not survive that. It is an existentialist threat to me. I so wish I could feel—feel—the ability to just let her fall. I understand it intellectually, but my emotions are dragging me down. But I will persevere. I need to be free of this pain. Yes...As you say Copabanana, she must live according to her own abilities and needs. I will keep telling myself that. I have presented her with numerous resources. $500 and $600 rooms in a nearby city where she could walk to work and the train. But she "doesn't want to live with a stranger" and wants to "train (online) to be a dental hygienist and them work in a few months. That is a pure fantasy and will never happen... I will keep reading. Keep bolstering myself. Keep saying no. Keep trying to get to the emotional place I need to be to enjoy my life. Thank you, thank you thank you. There are some very good, kind and smart people in this world. [/QUOTE]
