[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 759385, member: 23706"] My daughter is estranged from us, homeless and mentally ill. I so feel for you. Kay cut us off when we stopped giving her money. We spent so much on her we have little.left and not.one thing we did to try to help her did any good. She is married with a useless husband and together they don't work, smoke pot and maybe more and hate everything. My husband and I needed private therapy and also go to Nar Anon. Our church and other grown kids help us. We simply have to keep up what we are doing now because we can never go back to the way things were or it will kill us. Literally. So we need to keep on coping with estrangement. For us the contact with her was worse than estrangement is. I worry too. But we can not force Kay to take care of herself. She is in her 30s. We have no control over her. We know it may end badly but we are choosing to put ourselves and other loved ones before her....with the help that I talked about. I know this path is hard. But we can do this. Sending prayers and hugs and lots of love. [/QUOTE]
