Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...
I have been really working on detaching from my daughter who is an addict. I text or call her every other day. In past when I couldn't get ahold of her I would go into panic mode. Texting, calling over and over like a crazy person. Now on the days I call and I don't reach her, I just leave her a message. Today was one of those days I didn't reach her. I have done fine until now. A huge panic feeling has come over me an my mind has gone into overdrive. Something's wrong, the thoughts just keep going on and on. I know there is nothing I can do for her and she is making her own choices, but I get so scared. Any suggestions out there on how to deal with this
Why are you putting her in the driver's seat?
I think you, to a certain degree, are also an addict; you are addicted to the toxic relationship and I think you need to detox.
Go 30 days w/o ANY contact. You need time for your mind to quiet, and right now, you are self-injuring every other day.
What about when she (is supposed to) go away tomorrow? That would be the perfect time to detach from the situation.
