[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 375053, member: 9175"] There are a lot of posts about detaching when your difficult child continually asks for help, etc. In my situation, my difficult child has chosen to shut me out of her life ... at least for now. For those who have faced this (and I know you're out there!), how do you handle detachment of that kind? She moved out of the hotel with her internet boyfriend about ten days ago and moved in with her dad, just down the street from me. I am VERY glad she is out of that situation and was supportive in the text I sent when she texted me to say she was there. My text read: You're doing the right thing, sweetie. I love you. We had a "date" to go see Eat, Pray, Love last Monday. When I showed up to pick her up at the appointed time, the door was unlocked and she was gone. I was scared to death. This is VERY unlike her. She finally called DEX an hour or so later to say she was "hanging" with an ex-boyfriend. She'd told a friend another story and she has not called me since. Yes, I know it's only been a week, but it hurts like heck. She'd lived with me up ubtil her hotel adventure and we were very close. This is the loongest we've ever gone without contact. I am not calling her because she needs to own this. I'm keeping as busy as I can. I'm re-reading "co-dependant no more". I pray a lot. And I still need help. Dash [/QUOTE]
