[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 754663, member: 23405"] I do see that as progress. Good for you. About a year ago I had something similar happen with my youngest son. I was at work and he lives in his car. As often happens because everything he owns he’s charging in the car so his battery died. He was in a recreational park area and called me demanding I leave work that instant to go help him. It wasn’t freezing out just an FYI. Because I’m such a sickly enabler it tore my insides out to not run to his rescue. I told him if he couldn’t ask for someone else’s help he’d have to wait until I got out of work. He kept insisting it wasn’t far from my work and kept arguing with me. He was fuming but I stuck to my guns. I showed up after work and he was gone. He didn’t have the courtesy to let me know he got help. For me that was one step in the right direction. Many more have followed and I feel healthier minded. I would also suggest journaling some of your milestones. It will give you strength to look back later and recall the progress you are making because there will be days you beat yourself up feeling like a failure. If God is part of your belief system I highly recommend you keep turning your daughter over to Him and ask for strength and healing for yourself too. In my opinion this is too much for us alone to handle. Remember progress not perfection [/QUOTE]
