That is such a powerful statement. You know it's not enough. Keep your boundaries clear - what is and isn't acceptable in you and your daughter's life.

I wasn't trying to sound preachy or anything in my post - I just identified with so much of yours. I thought if I showed the doctor what was really going on, then just maybe things would work out for my RAH. Or, if I proved to him, my husband, what he really did when he was on xanax, then maybe he'd finally get it (I had pictures and everything!). I had my foot half way out the door, so to speak, the whole time. It wasn't until I accepted, and began to live with, the fact that it was better for me to spend less time on him and more time on myself, that I began to make real change in my life.

Again, this me talking about my ES&H. I hope yours continues to move towards a positive place for you and your daughter.
