[QUOTE="ksm, post: 755500, member: 12511"] Have you read the article on detachment? You can find it by clicking on the Parent Emeritus Forum. Then, in the top 4 postings you can find a brilliant article on detachment. It should be required reading for all parents. I started reading it every day...just to remind myself I wasn't responsible for my child. I have lines in the sand...what I can help with and what I will no longer do. I apologized to my daughter for doing things for her that she can do for herself. And for being resentful towards her because she wasn't doing what I wanted her to do. She is in charge of her life, not me. Good luck, its hard to detangle our lives from our child, no matter how old they are. Ksm [/QUOTE]
