[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 746754, member: 19832"] Done Dad, I so relate to the repeat dysfunctional performance. My daughter, 38, dual diagnosis, did what yours did: 2 pregnancies with two losers. My only worth to her was as a rescuer, and it wreaked hell on my health and my relationship with her step dad. When she go pregnant the second time, I told her I would not rescue her or let her live with us. I told her I would help her get treatment, which she refused. In one of her rages she said I would never see her or my two grandkids again. So far, she has made good on her word. My heart breaks for my grand kids who need positive influences. I came to the belief that I see you coming to: THAT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO MUST CHANGE whether or not she does. I know I was trapped in a dance with my daughter because of my fear and guilt and worry. Those things never made anything better. You deserve to have a good life and to know you are a good person, and that it is an act of love to take care of yourself. Your wife and daughter may or may not change, but you can. [/QUOTE]
