[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 749528, member: 13542"] WLS, the above quote is a typical response when we stop enabling. My daughter said similar things to me and for a long time it worked. When I began not reacting to those manipulations, she stopped using them. It's wonderful that you don't feel any guilt.....guilt is what ties us into the manipulations. Good for you! I learned this over time too. It's good advice. So true. Acceptance of what we can't change is how we find peace. And when it's our kids, it's one helluva journey.......yet, it is possible. My intention all these years with my daughter has been to find peace of mind......it's a work in progress.....thankfully I'm progressing. So are you WLS, good job. [/QUOTE]
