[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 638198, member: 13542"] Lil, when I was going through this stuff with my daughter I attended 2 CODA meetings per week, I was in an intensive Codependency course that had a parent group once a week and a therapist appointment about every 3 weeks. I attended NAMI courses, talked to the Social workers there, talked to Dr's, put myself in supportive environments almost every single day. Plus I went to an acupuncturist for stress, had massages, put an enormous effort into taking care of me. I look back on that and think I couldn't have done it without that level of support, it was just too hard. I always advocate getting as much support as you can. If it takes a village to raise a child, relative to that, it takes a country to let go. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, so I know how you feel. You both are doing great, you're doing all the right things...............and I know it still feels bad. But, just so you know, we humans get used to everything, you will even get used to this. I am in a pretty good place now and really, my daughter's life is very similar to what it was 3 years ago. But now my boundaries are intact and she keeps me out of the drama. That may be as good as it gets with our kids. [/QUOTE]
