[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 676589, member: 19617"] Hello Everyone's Mom I was just checking the site before I get ready for sleep, and I just wanted to acknowledge your post. I have you in my thoughts for a calm spirit in dealing with fears about your daughter. You have found a safe place here to share and seek insight and wisdom from the folks who all understand too well the type of understandable confusion and heartache you are experiencing. I am thankful for this group. Your daughter is still so young, so I feel your pain in being fearful and concerned for her. I have raised 4 children to adults, so I know those young years (20yrs) with such dangerous behaviors are so worrisome. It’s a wonder how we get through some days….as you said "[I]dying inside"[/I]. You did the right thing in asking your daughter to leave your home. This is a major and necessary first step. A hard one. An initial shock to our emotional and physical systems. Hopefully, it will become easier as you take each day at a time. Take a moment to read the article on [I]Detachment [/I]at the top of this forum. It is a great helpful reminder and encouragement.
