[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 716156, member: 19832"] All the words of support and guidance here are true, but that doesn't make it hurt any less to have to set these kind of boundaries. I do think it gets easier to detach over time. I just set the very difficult boundary of refusing to let my adult daughter move in, most difficult because I have two grandchildren. I don't know where she is staying, and I feel sick about her possibly being homeless, but as others have said, her own choices have brought her here. I felt so triggered and anxious about the whole thing that I actually am in England (I live in the U.s.) for a week and a half because I knew she would try to wear me down. You are not being a bad mother by letting her face the consequences of her actions, it doesn't mean you love her any less, and you can't save her. She must save herself. I pray that your daughter and my daughter find their way to healing. [/QUOTE]
