[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 759951, member: 23706"] You don't ever stop loving them. In my case the shine that once made me glow at the thought of her beautiful smile has gone away. I feel defeated when I think about her now....it has been too much of a struggle for too long and I have learned in Nar-Anon how to let go with love.....and take care of myself and my husband and other children whom are kind to me. Letting go with love doesn't mean we stop loving them. It means that we realize we can't save our loved one and that we and they are best off if we stay out of their business and decisions. Many of us including me can be controlling and think we need to get involved when our grown kids make bad decisions. Sometimes we help by giving money too. None.if that works. Whatever.path we take, we still love our child. In our case, we stopped enabling our daughter. We thought we were helping her. In her case, we were just making her worse. And we suffered badly and were hurt that she didn't act thankful and.loving for all that we did to help her. But our helping really did not help her.... Be well. [/QUOTE]
