[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 743570, member: 11235"] I'm sorry this is happening. I know how stressful it is to not have contact and wonder if they are OK. At one point my daughter took my infant granddaughter and moved to Ohio to be with a man she met on the internet. For awhile there was no contact with her. I was beside myself with fear and anxiety. I had to learn to reframe my focus on myself, rather than her or I couldn't function. I read lots of books about detachment and boundaries. I spent time figuring out what I really enjoyed and what made me feel healthy. I spent lots of time walking in nature with my dogs and I cried plenty. I spent a lot of time on these boards. However, I used this time to learn to live a relatively happy and peaceful life no matter what the situation with my daughter is. I hope you can use this time in a similar way to find out how to focus on yourself. Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself as you would a friend going through the same situation. It doesn't happen overnight and I still sometimes struggle with boundaries and codependency but it's much easier to get myself back on track because of the work I have done. Sending peace and love to you. [/QUOTE]
