[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 546522, member: 13542"] It has helped me so much to hear the stories other parents have posted about their adult kids and their own detachment process. It is the most painful experience of my life, without exception. To hear that others have done it with the full realization of that pain, has made an enormous difference as I deal with that pain on a daily basis. As I see it diminishing in it's severity each day, I continue to be grateful for everyone's experience preparing me to walk down this strange and unexpected path and learn to live my own life entrusting my daughter into the grace of a Higher Power. That trust has been the lesson for me. And, to surrender control, or the illusion of it. And, as Nomad said, to learn the boundary and limit setting a difficult child forces one to undertake. Nothing in my former life came close to preparing me for this. Each day I learn something new and to the degree that I can stop controlling, surrender and trust, I can find a little peace. [/QUOTE]
