Hi Everyone,
I have had very little communication with my 28 year old daughter since she got out of rehab in late January and it’s been a time of comparative peace for my husband and me. She has stopped her almost constant demands for money ( pre rehab) and is living about an hour away with someone. No idea who. But today I feel like I should at least say Happy Easter or something. Yet I am afraid I would open the door for requests for involvement I no longer want to provide. Like give her money, fix her car, pay for insurance, drive her somewhere. You all know what I mean. I am so done with all of that.
I want to tell her to please get to a psychiatrist and get on medications again. But I have told her that so many times. Have taken her myself and paid for the medications for years. I want to tell her to get a job, stay away from bad influences, be honest, work hard, do what’s right and on and on.
Isn’t it awful that she’s my only child and I am afraid to even say Happy Easter?
Thanks for listening. As you know, it helps to just say this to people who get it.
