[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 676051, member: 19522"] The guilt and the blame game, do not fall for it, it keeps us in the web. We all make mistakes.... If you feel the need to help her, yes as mothers, we want to help, BUT, and it is a big BUT, they have to want the help themselves. The old adage, "You take the horse to water, but you can't make um drink." applies in spades.... Do what you need to do, to make [I]you feel good,[/I] but do realize dear, that it is totally up to your daughter. She is an adult, and we have no control over our adult children and the paths they choose. As my 14 year old son said, "Why do we have people living with us, Mom, who STEAL from us?" I had to really think about that one....... We are here, and you are here. The advice you receive, is just that, advice from caring people who have gone through or are going through what you are. There is no right or wrong. I have to get going, but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Others will come along.... Take very good care of yourself (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
