It may seem counterintuitive, but what Ann said is true--we have to love them more to let them go. That said, it is not easy, and I am sorry you find yourself in this tormenting situation. Letting go and detaching from the outcome doesn't mean you aren't loving and concerned. It just means you aren't willing to go down with their ship, or go on their roller coaster...or whatever metaphor best fits!

I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for peace and insight. Take good care, Momma! We are here for you.
