[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 750726, member: 24089"] More fantastic posts. My daughter is closing in on 30, and I'm feeling much of what you are. It's been about 13 solid years of feeling this way. Imprisoned is a good word for it. Weekends naturally bring a more intense feeling, I think. ERs, police... more busy on the weekends. So for the Difficult Child of the world, I think it also ignite's their emotions (at least for my daughter it always has). Years ago our weekends were the same. We dreaded them. Now, she goes out almost every day, so it's hard to judge, but weekends still bring a certain [I]feeling[/I] to them. We got pretty good at avoiding and having contact with daughter on our own terms, but then she got pregnant, had baby (who is now living with us), and that gives her more leverage to impose on us. We still hold boundaries, though. I can't imagine this same feeling in 10 years. I really can't. It robs you of any chance at leveling out your life. I love the idea of traveling. Physically getting away really does make a difference. It affects you less. They can't just show up. My heart is with ya. ❤️ [/QUOTE]
