[QUOTE="Hilli, post: 705742, member: 21111"] I know exactly what you are feeling Mamacat. I have deep and tremendous feelings of love for my son but when I work to detach it feels like I don't love him. And that feeing helps me be strong but there is guilt. I think those of us who have enabled our children for so long have a hard time with understanding the difference. My other son is successful and gives me no trouble. My feelings for him are not confusing. But when you have to detach from a loved one for their sake and your own, it gets confusing. I go back and forth between sadness and feelings of empowerment by the minute. Telling someone to let their 45 yo daughter go and to not reach out is healthy and the right decision but unless you're in it, you can't possibly know how hard that is - as we all do. [/QUOTE]
