WE went to a new therapist today. We are hopeful that her strategies at making and keeping contact will work to help bring my daughter home. I cry everynight, almost thinking that if she could hear me , it will make her come home and miss me. Why does it hurt so much and not get better? I am waiting for her, I told her, I am waiting and praying she feels my love and wants to reach out to me..............[/QUOTE]

The new therapist says that we must realize that she is in an very abusive and controlling relationship. And yes..we need her to wake up! The holiday's are here, my birthday has come, and no word from her. We now believe the emotional abuse she suffers is degrading her and we are not sure when she will realize this is not what she wants out of life.
It hurts not to be able to help her. My depression has lightened but it still lurks with me. My panic attacks are fewer but the anxiety rush at the first sign of the sun setting is painful. I dream of holding her close to my heart
