[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 699658, member: 19617"] Hello Tandemdame Welcome to the forum. I’m sorry for your heartbreaking situation, but I am glad you found us here. It is a safe place here to share your story. I can tell this is a hard situation for you as you love your daughter, and understand her illness, but it is also a fearful situation, especially if you need to fear for your safety. All of us here are learning that loving detachment is necessary with our difficult adult children. If you have not yet read the article on detachment at the top of this forum, that is a great reminder and reinforcer of why detachment is necessary and is the only thing that works in our situations. [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/article-on-detachment.53639/#axzz4KsCnTgEJ[/URL] Yes. We are all in the same boat with this. This is nothing to be ashamed about that you have peace when your adult child is out. You are right that she cannot return, as it will only worsen the situation. This is actually how it should be in most situations, that our adult children should be out. They must all leave at some point, for their own growth and freedom as well as for us and for our own health. Most all agree that our difficult situations only get better, saner, and more peaceful when our children are out of our homes. Stay with us and keep posting. More will be along soon with wisdom and guidance and more experience to address your specific situation. You will find much support and comfort here to know you are not alone and we understand. Take care and keep sharing. [/QUOTE]
