I'm caught up in a dilemma. Given my job which has tons of "privacy laws" attached to it, I'm not sure if/what I should disclose. Daughter and fiancé showed up at our house on Tuesday night. They have left their eastern place after their fruit farm jobs fell through (big surprise). I guess...

I'm trying to find the right thing to do/say to our dear next-door neighbors, who lost their young son on the weekend to a drug overdose, while we were dealing with our daughter's drama in our house. He had just turned 19 and in a lot of ways was just like our daughter. My heart is breaking...

Hopefully, most of you will figure out the profile change! So - here is the update (that many of you, including me figured would happen) but with a twist. THE GOOD - Breathing a sigh of relief - daughter is NOT pregnant. Had the "miscarriage" on Monday. Boyfriend took her to hospital. THE...

So, it's been a while. In April we got rid of the hoarder "friend", who had been with us for 10 months with no signs of improving her health, lifestyle, employment opportunity or life skills. Been trying to get back into a normal routine. Hubby and I doing some yard work projects. And just...

Wow! It just seems like yesterday that I last did an update (before our trip in August). Major changes - some for the good and some for the really bad. Glad to be back here and getting to see where all of you are at. Just to refresh, daughter was being deported on a 38 hour flight back to...

I am SO grateful for all of you, today especially. I feel like I have been set free. Everyone who replied to my prior posts hit everything bang on. You saw the truth using detachment. I was still giving in to F.O.G. Thank you so very much. Just 1 week ago, daughter called pleading for...

I don't get it. Every single time (and it's not often) I try to set something up for husband & myself for a special occasion or God forbid, a vacation (haven't had one of those in about 6 years), drama sets in. We're set to leave in 2 weeks for our big trip. In my previous long post, I...

Clearly, I can't see the forest for the trees. The past week has been a bit of a blur following daughter's last rant. Husband and I are working on detachment. I have a doctor's appointment in early December and am asking for a referral for counselling for us. As I reviewed the detachment...

So, daughter is at it again. Her fraud stuff caught up with her and she made a quick exit from Thailand to Nepal. Called me last night - last time I heard from her was on the internet when she made threats to kill me. Crying and pleading for me to send her $2,000 for a postoperative infection...

Tonight I had an 8 year old "Ninja" come to the door trick or treating. As I was putting candy into his bag, he asked, "Do you have a husband?" I replied, "Why? Are you looking for a wife?" He had no reply!!! Made my evening!

This has been a weekend like no other - haven't had this much drama since...the last time we had this much drama. I think she has finally pushed me to total detachment. Daughter has still been playing the surgical victim, even though her GoFundMe accounts have been taken down and donors...

Happy Friday. Or so I thought. She's definitely brought her "A" game to today's drama. Woke up to 6 phone messages (2 from a FB friend of daughter and 4 from a phone number in Thailand) that started at 4:30 am. This is why we no longer have a phone in our bedroom! This is the 1 year...

I'm wondering about the level of medical disease fabrications by my daughter. Aside from hospitalizations for psychiatric evaluations and overdoses, our daughter seems to be plagued by every disease known to man. I have worked in the health care field all my life - not sure why she would try to pull...

This is more of a rant than anything else. My apologies in advance. I should have known better. I know, I know, I know. I got sucked into the, "My bank card isn't working and I can't book my flight. I NEED to go NOW. Can you PLEASE help me? I promise I'll pay you back. I need to get my...

I did it (although it is not with happiness that I post this). I searched and reviewed so many threads here to put together my email response to daughter, who is demanding a flight back home from Asia. It took me 3 days to put together a solid email that we will not waver from - using many ideas and...

It's been 7 years since my daughter turned 18 and I last posted. Borderline (BPD), depression, ADHD. Won't take medications. She decided to 'travel the world' 2 years ago. Used the apartment rental 'damage deposit' money she begged me for to supplement her one-way ticket to Germany. She has a 'benefactor' back...
