[QUOTE="JMom, post: 754604, member: 19892"] Overwhelmed, I am glad you found us. This site really helps find peace, support and resources for you. I can tell that you love your daughter and your grands a great deal. I think you might consider who will take care of them when you are gone. She will need the tools of survival, you may be doing her a favor to let it be her problems, with her solutions. I know it is easier said then done. Her lifestyle and poor choices don't have to be your burden. If she has stayed in shelters then she is aware of resources. Take care of you. What would it be like to wake up and live for you, in the present? Perhaps turn your phone off for the day, clean out a closet, run errands, exercise, take a hot bath, read a book or anything to keep your mind busy. I'm praying for you to detach with love. There is a great article on detachment here. I too, had to let go this week. It was hard to pry the situation out of my clinched fists, but, I made it. I cleaned out two closets, sold some stuff online, drank an extra cup of coffee and prayed. I took a nap and felt very peaceful for once in a very long time. I read a book about 30 years ago on codependency. Its title is 'codependency no more' by Melodie Beatty. It REALLY helped me untangle myself from other people's problems. I've probably read it 7 times since I was in my twenties until now. Hope this helps, Jmom [/QUOTE]
