[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 753718, member: 23811"] Welcome Calgary mom. My daughter is 41, an alcoholic, doesnt work, took every penny of the extra money I made as a writer, after retirement. She lives from couch to couch in another state. When I quit writing I had to quit giving her my money. Thousands upon thousands that ultimately went to casinos. There was absolutely no remorse on her part. Instead, I was abused horribly. That is when I knew for certain I was in over my head. Starting about 5 years ago, with help of therapy, I began the detachment process (emotional detachment). I struggled a lot and put my own health at risk because I was trying to manage with my heart instead of my head. After reading several really good books, in my signature line, and finding this wonderful group of people, I have made headway. We want to change it, but we cant change anybody but ourselves. The money never goes where we think it does. It only supports their destructive behavior. I hold onto that and reject thoughts of what might be. I am learning to live in the moment, in reality. Again welcome. Love and light [/QUOTE]
