[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 756829, member: 24254"] I wanted to share here what my Father said to me in the hopes that it might help someone else: " Strictness that may have been lacking in childhood now needs to be replaced by consequences. Sentimental patience does not help the sick person out of their aimlessness. It's about the sick person not about the grief of the one saddened by farewells. Be strong and cry in solitude." That really struck me! I have to do what is best for my daughter even if it hurts like hell. And what is best for her is not to live with us anymore. It also is best for us, coincidentally, but primarily, it's about her being responsible for her own life. Having to pay all of her own bills, reaping the consequences of her own choices directly - she needs life to teach her now. And by not crying outwardly, I get to show her my strength and with that connect to her own. [/QUOTE]
