I'm so frustrated with my youngest daughter right now. She continually makes the same mistake over and over and over again. I don't know when she will break the bad habit and learn from it and move on for good. Maybe she never will *sigh*

I am her mom, I love her to pieces. I want to be supportive but how many times can I continually be there for her when she keeps going back to the same thing and refuses to let go of it?

I grow weary of watching her go round and round with this situation. She'll get to the point of being completely angry and frustrated and she'll get out of the situation. Some time goes by and whammo, she's right back into it again wearing rose colored glasses and dreams of "what it can be".

How do I distance myself from this problem yet at the same time co-exist with her? I don't want to get to the point of getting mad and yelling and saying things I don't really mean, just saying them out of frustration. But I feel it coming on and I have to do something to not go there. But what????

I know she has to find her own way and that I can't do this for her. I also know that it's killing me inside to watch her continually make the same mistake over and over and over again.

I don't know how much longer I can keep my mouth shut. I've said enough to her already in the past about how to help herself. I've given her the tools she needs to do this. I know I can't do it for her. I'm getting so frustrated I just want to go away and never come back again.

God, I need to get a life. *sigh*
