[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 738552, member: 13542"] Leafy, you're doing a very, very difficult thing in saying no now. I'm so sorry about the pain of it, I understand the suffering that that no offers to us. Oh boy, I know that ache so well. You're doing a very good job of continuing to hold your line......and I know the agony that can bring......but this is in support of your daughter to find her way out, on her own, if she chooses. I went thru that with my daughter for years and the last time she was homeless, I told her that this time she is like Luke Skywalker in Star Wars (she's a huge Star Wars fan, so she could hear this more readily)........ I told her it's time to find her own hero's journey and it's a journey one does alone. It's her quest to find herself, not mine. She heard me. This seems to be an opportunity for your daughter to shift gears if she so chooses.... You're doing well with it Leafy.......you're doing what I would do in the same situation......and I know it's rough. We're all here with you......you're never alone. ((((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
