[QUOTE="Seeking Peace, post: 672564, member: 19374"] Still learning, Detaching doesn't mean giving up or walking away. It simply means recognizing it's not in our control. Believe me, if any of us could control things, this forum would not exist. Like any medical problem, such as heart disease or diabetes, there is help and treatment. You can certainly help find those Doctors and help cover cost of medicine and treatment, but in the end, if the actual person is not onboard, not following guidelines that are established for their own health and well-being, no amount of love can change that. Especially when they're adults. We detach for our own health and well-being. Reality is we won't be here forever, so trying to control our adult children's choices will only hurt them later. We're still parents who love and are concerned and worry day after day. We just finally accept we can't do it for them. We all believe there's still hope :) [/QUOTE]
