[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 546515, member: 13542"] Thanks Nomad, a very powerful, thought provoking article. I agree with what everyone else has said. Having just let go of that rope with my daughter, it is especially poignant for me right now. As CiV mentioned, it's the "right" thing to do but it isn't easy. And in many ways not only does it go against one's idea of 'mothering' it can be looked at as going against a religious perspective of giving and "love thy neighbor." For me, it has been a very painful experience and at the same time I understand that the other has to be willing to help themselves and I am not certain my difficult child can or will do that. It is what it is. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
