[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 737841, member: 18516"] Hi Sad, Welcome aboard! I'm sorry for what you have been through with your daughter. You have done all you can for her and at 35 you should not have to be doing anything for her. I'm glad you found this site. It has been a life saver for so many. Trying to understand our difficult adult children is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube, just about impossible. Some things that really helped me move on was to stop seeing my adult son as my sweet little boy. I started seeing him for the adult man he is. I also had to go through the grieving process. I grieved for all the hopes and dreams I had for him. I grieved for the life I wish he could be living. This really helped me to let go. It's not an easy journey to be on but we are here on this site for each other. You can come here for support, to vent or to support others. The best thing you can do is to take care of you. So many times we become overly involved in trying to rescue our difficult adult children that we lose ourselves. We stop taking care of ourselves because we are giving all our time and energy to our child. Be good to yourself, take time for yourself, do things you enjoy. I'm glad you are here with us.
