[QUOTE="EthelCat, post: 762703, member: 30027"] I just found this site yesterday. It’s already been a huge help, especially the detachment article. I carry it with me and gave a copy to my mom. I have two difficult children. One 20 with schizo affective disorder, brought on by THC, and an ODD daughter who is 16 and mean, nasty, glaring , sneering , entitled, manipulative, projects, it’s been 2 years of steady and worsening hell with her. Neither are related to me by blood, but I carried them. They are very similar to the egg donor and less like my husband. Who died when they were young. So they have trauma around their fathers death and trauma around their identity. I’ve done my best, and we were all quite close, I thought, until they became teens and found drugs. I hate being home. Always on eggshells. I want them both to leave. I read the forums about trauma going on for years and years and I don’t want that. I’m want to detach from these two and move on with my life, my nice friends and family who value me as I value them. I don’t t have years of trying to help them or putting up with their verbal, or if it gets to that, physical abuse. I’ve been dealing with this descent into madness for 4 years and that’s enough. My son had a psychotic break three years ago. Traumatized my daughter , who was 13 at the time. Now she’s off the rails. Vapes, marijuana, drinking, sex.m, toxic friend drama (she’s the toxic one, or one of them). I want to detach and I want them gone. Both of them. [/QUOTE]
