[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 692973, member: 20487"] SomewhereOutthere: Thanks. It is hard to keep all this in mind when I feel so overwhelmed. I have had a lot of therapy on this and it seems to get me every time. I question my own worth during these time. Have I really tried, have I been too harsh, stuff like that. The fact is I am not interested in taking care of her. My real problem is that I can't stand the feelings of panic and worry that happen each time. She has major depression, diabetes, is overweight, has many other health issues and has not had a good work record, plus her credit history is really bad so no apartments want to rent to her. I hear you about taking care of myself, I think that the grief of this is overwhelming and even when I do take care of me, as I should, it has caused me to become sad, as thought I am grieving for a death that hasn't happened. My oldest son passed away at age 25 from a truck train collision and that was hard, but it was over quick and the healing even though it goes on forever, does get better. The type of prolonged misery my daughter has just doesn't go away and it keeps rearing up, causing me to have to relive this all the time. I am new to this forum and do understand that I need to detach. Where is the line between detach and totally walk away from her? [/QUOTE]
