[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 682951, member: 19522"] I love this SWOT, you are absolutely right. We do not have control over others, heck it is hard enough to have self control. Looking, you are not giving up on your daughter, you are giving in to the reality that you cannot help her in your home. She is out of control there, and dragging you all down with her. I do believe that when our kids act out like this, they are [I]taunting [/I]us to push them out. They are really saying 'I can do this, I can take care of myself.....stop rescuing me and let me do this" Our dear friend Cedar put this very eloquently (as is her way) in this response....... (Cedar I miss you!) This response really touched me, as I hope it does you. It is the hardest time when we realize that what we have tried with our beloveds just did not work. I so remember being right where you are, packing up clothes and trinkets, weeping over the drama our lives had become, wishing for the good times. It is normal to feel this way. Let it out. Take a deep breath and have faith Looking. You are doing the best thing for your girl. Another poster wrote "Our adult children have wings you know, and they know how use them." The end of the story has not been written. This is a new beginning, as I wrote earlier, for all of you. You are going to be okay, and so will your daughter. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
