[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 601278, member: 13558"] Our generation was raised to put everyone before us, from what I see around me this one is not. We do feel guilty about doing things for us when we know our loved ones are not making sound decisions to be responsible for themselves. Yesterday was my difficult child's 35 birthday. He was speaking to me the last one and I usually send him a generous check. After I gave him $$$ to help him relocate and start over I told him that was his birthday present and for the first time in his life I did not waiver. I had no address to send him a card so I posted a birthday message on FB. He went no contact in November so I did not send money or a card for Christmas. I have no clue where he is and he has my telephone number to call collect when and if he wants to talk to me. Mine lies about having a sponsor and going to meetings. I suspect there is more than alcohol or pot going on but he has denied it. I was a little down yesterday at 4:58 PM (his birth time) but I ran some errands and focused on the baking I am doing today for a breast cancer charity event. I send good vibes and prayers that your daughter will stay on this path. When mine was clean and sober I actually looked forward to his calls. Maybe that's why this time I finally said no more and meant it. Stay busy and enjoy the peace! I'm working very hard to not let my son's ups and downs ruin my life. I know people that can not function when their child is having problems. I'm trying very hard to go the other way. (((peace and blessings for us all))) [/QUOTE]
