[QUOTE="ksm, post: 712471, member: 12511"] Have you ever went to a therapist, just for you? Maybe get some professional guidance on dealing with your daughter? It sounds like she is playing both you and her boyfriend against each other. Maybe it makes her feel more wanted and loved. I think you should be available for her when she is truly ready to change, until then, maybe you shouldn't even discuss the situation with her any more. Prepare a statement and stick with it. Read the article on detaching near the top of this forum. Something like, I love and care for you. I know you are smart enough to figure these problems out. If you want to get help, here are a couple phone numbers for people in your situation. I don't feel like I can be in the middle of this as it is hard on me and it hurts our relationship. Then you got to step back. Don't get drawn in to all of her drama. Don't respond with more drama. It's feeding the fire. I know it's hard... And I am not a professional, that's why I think a few appts with one may help you set boundaries... Ksm [/QUOTE]
