[QUOTE="Hopeful parent, post: 758728, member: 21585"] Newstart, good to hear you are practicing selfcare. I know what you mean about not being able to get out and about. I also had to give up my volunteer work and craft groups for a while, hopefully next year I can get out and about again. Sorry to hear you lost your mother and two best friends, they would have been a good support for you now. I often think of my father who was a recovering alcoholic. It would be good to have him here now. I believe he would have been able to help my son. I think loving your daughter from afar is a great approach. It sounds like your daughter needs help, but as pointed out to me on this site by, can't remember who it was at the moment, that the help is out there for them if they want it. And I think that is the problem, we can't want it for them, they have to want it for themselves. I believe I am going to get through this and I believe you can too. A saying I love (from a book I read) is 'You can do hard thing.' I wish you the best, and I really do understand your pain. [/QUOTE]
