[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 748395, member: 18958"] Hi New Leaf! First of all. I did not know (or remember) you had been ill. I would not have forgotten that. I feel sure. That's exactly what I think. And what I think is the appeal to me. The ability to be immersed in another world (and separate from the real one) and to join it in a way. Kind of like prison. Where I used to work. Oh no. I am so sorry. But angry that these women put you in this hard, hard spot, along side them. How do you detach from this? New Leaf. What are you to do? She is a fully grown woman. My son is 30 now. I maintain an attitude of the mother of a teenager, because he acts little more grown than this, but 30 used to be entering middle age. This is a wake up call. Eventually it is a question not only of acceptance, but respect of the right of another adult to live their life as they choose. I am getting there. There is the acceptance too that my life has value. That enough years have gone by, I won't say sacrificed, but in a way, they have been. Yes. I don't know if you have Salvation Army there, but they are all over the place here. They are considered by people who know to be excellent programs. I have called and for some Rehab centers there is not a wait. When she is ready to quit, she can. She does not need to come home to quit. That's a scam. She's using the magic words, that's all. New Leaf. I am glad you posted. I have wondered how and where you were. [/QUOTE]
