if there's anything you can do if your daughter is an adult.
My daughter has her issues also. I don't like some of the things she's doing because there is a history of heart disease on her father's side. She eats bad food. Is constantly stressed. Smokes. Sometimes drinks (I wish she wouldn't...she only has one kidney...born that way).
She's 39.
We lost my brother a year ago next month from alcohol. Nothing we could do, although some members of the family tried mightily. Even did an intervention that failed.
He was 40
It's the worst feeling in the world to see someone we love doing bad things to him/herself, and we know there's absolutely nothing we can do to stop them.
I'm so sorry for your pain....
