[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764901, member: 19522"] Hi Newlife, Special occasions can bring up emotions in us for our wayward adult children. I’m sorry for the sadness that you are feeling. For sure not an outcome that we anticipated while raising our kids. I hope she is receiving the help she needs. As you have posted, your daughter can be abusive to you. While it is hard to go no contact, sometimes it is necessary for our own sanity. I hope you are able to process your sadness. I understand how difficult it is. It is grieving loved ones who are still living, and that is a tough road to be on. I have learned that jail is not the worst thing that could happen to my daughter. She has a chance to sober up and lots of time to think about her choices. I still have hope for her to come round, but after this last encounter with her know that I need to guard my heart even more. Know that although it hurts, you are making decisions for your own health and safety and that’s paramount. By setting boundaries you are showing your daughter that you will not tolerate disrespect and abuse. That is a good thing for her and for you. Hang in there. I hope with each passing day you are feeling better. Hugs New Leaf [/QUOTE]
