    Ugh... I hate having to say no

    I agree and I believe that being on a spiritual journey is important and shapes many of us as we seek truth and what our purpose is in this life. Some of what she shares is valid and reality-based. Others are not so much. For example, she said that the greys said that she is the most powerful...

    Ugh... I hate having to say no

    She may very well have mental illness and I have started going to a local NAMI support group, but she does not think that she has any mental illness. My husband thinks that we should just explain to her that she should seek treatment, but I am not sure if this is the right way to go. She is very...

    Ugh... I hate having to say no

    Thank you @Copabanana for sharing your experience with your son. My daughter was doing a lot of drinking (3 DUI’s before she was even 21), as well as drugs and daily marijuana in her late teens and most of her twenties. About a year and a half ago, my husband came home to find my oldest...

    Ugh... I hate having to say no

    Thank you so very much Leafy! I really needed to hear these great points! Setting boundaries and not enabling is all new to me and probably why my difficult daughter is 29 and still making the choices that she is with no reality of the pain of consequences. I live in the desert where it is...

    Ugh... I hate having to say no

    So my homeless daughter texted me today asking if I had a place for her to stay for the time being. Having her live with us is a toxic situation. I told her that I love her so much and this is her choice to be homeless. I offered to drive her to the local Rescue Mission where they can provide...

    ...is this still enabling?

    Oh my gosh, what perfect timing for your post @JPG as I was literally saying to my coworker that I feel that I should bring my daughter some food after another co-worker saw my daughter lying on a bench at a nearby strip mall. This thread has helped me really step back and think it through -...

    Saying NO and setting Boundaries

    Thank you for sharing this Tanya! I am very new to this forum and am seeing the value of people sharing. I have just this past week, set firm boundaries with my adult daughter for the first time in her life. In the past, I have always been an enabler and a door mat for her to spew forth her...
