[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 752870, member: 23811"] I do understand. My middle aged adult daughter was once a beautiful young women, damaged by abusive rich men. She now is an alcoholic that lives from couch to couch and has been horribly abusive towards me (before, during, and after pouring out a lot of money to "help"). It didn't. My son has a very limited relationship with his sister because of this and her outlandish behavior toward me and her living in victim hood. Her step-sister tried to take her in and it did not go well at all. She refused to come stay with us, all she wanted from us was money so she could keep gambling, drinking, partying, etc. No job. So, I see things from a different perspective, though I think the desire to have our honor defended as a matter of respect transcends all situations. The only advice I can offer is to try to see things objectively. We have no control over what any of our adult children do and I find the best thing to do is to stay emotionally detached from my daughter and try not to put our other children in a predicament, especially if they are able to maintain some kind of contact, that gives me some ease. We defend, protect and love our children and all we ask is to be treated the same, unfortunately, some are just not able to do that and that is their issue, not ours. Love and light [/QUOTE]
