it never works when my daughter (in early recovery) lives at home. i stay nervous and she feels smothered. she gets needy and i feel taken advantage of. she's 23. she needs her independence to gain confidence and self respect. i need my privacy and own life.
she is in a halfway house, and my husband and i meet regularly with her and her counselor.
it works best this way, for all of us.
blessings, k
