[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 737958, member: 355"] Recoveringenabler, a huge THANK YOU from my whole heart for your reply. I believe that we always second guess our choices because of the emotional ties we have to our children. SomewhereOutThere - you know her tendencies so well. All of this might be fabricated. Time to peel back the onion pieces and see what's truly underneath. You are both the voice of reason. And it is almost verbatim what her former psychiatrist told me last year when we did a file review. He told me that we should never let her back into the house. Daughter says when she comes back we can go to the gym together (my safe/happy place with friends I absolutely will not introduce her to), do house renos/chores together, cook and of course, "see all of her friends." With her histrionic tendencies, I was also thinking that she may have manufactured her pregnancy test results. It's funny that she has been running around Europe & Asia for 4 years using no birth control at all and the minute she comes to Canada to see the love of her life, she is suddenly pregnant?? If she is, was this her plan all along? I feel for the boyfriend, who is now in a psychiatric ward himself (on a 72 hour hold). Funny how every guy she gets into a serious relationship is either borderline, bipolar or has some other mental illness. She had a alleged "miscarriage" some years ago. One of her doctors had mentioned years ago that she may have infertility issues due to her longterm valproic acid use and it's associated Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Husband says, "Maybe we should rent a place for her?" Really? Then we're on the hook for a one year lease after she decides to take off. You have seen/followed my posts and I have not fabricated one thing in it (in fact, I think I have left out some equally bad stuff but you didn't sign up to read "War and Peace"!), so you know her operating pattern and can see it more clearly. I feel that I'm being rushed into making a decision and I now realize that it is exactly what she does every time....the drama is "instant" and I am being made to "fix it" immediately. I'm going to call for a therapy session for hubby and I. I'm also going to check into a Al-Anon meeting. And I'm definitely going to stay grounded here for the time being. I already feel a little more at ease. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
