[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 754659, member: 23405"] Overwhelmed, I'm glad you found this forum because with your own self-work and channeling into the wisdom, strength and knowledge of others, you can get better. I won't happen overnight but each step forward in the right direction with lead you to a better place. Detaching with love from the situation will be your first step to some healing. When we are in the midst of it all it is so hard for our hearts not to ache. We have such FOG (fear, obligation and guilt) and it can and will suck the life out of us if we don't take hold of the life raft that awaits us. I too am a "recovering enabler". Lots of us are on this forum. Start thinking about yourself and your mental, emotional, financial and spiritual well-being. After all, no one else is. It's our responsibility to care for ourselves. We become so accustomed to giving everything we have and it depletes us. Will your daughter financially support you if you run out of money? Will she support you if you fall sick? Will she fix your car if it breaks down? Will she get you another job if you lose the one you have from worry/stress/anxiety and the errors you could make from such distraction going on in your mind? I think not! It is not selfish to care about you. Keep posting and sharing. As you share the problem you also emotionally start to process it better. When we keep it all to ourselves it is unbearable. Sending prayers. [/QUOTE]
