at Dr. Laura.com. Katie, welcome to the program. Thank you so much. Thank you. How can I help?

I was thinking, how am I going to say a lifetime of something short I come from a family take some time and spread it out a little if it's important okay I'm 64 I'm seven years sober.

I come from generational addiction and mental illness.

I have two adult daughters.

And I have been enabled and I'm an enabler.

And what I'm experiencing is I believe, okay, I should say this.

My father committed suicide when I was 15.

And I have a daughter that I worry about this coming.

And there's a part of the way I want to live is I work on me, you work on you, and we support one another.

And I don't know how to draw a line between fear of letting someone struggle and showing up as,

I don't know, like a water girl where I say, if you need me, I'm here.

And it doesn't seem to end with years of therapy and inpatient and medication and change of medication, change of diagnoses.

And I don't feel at risk of losing what I've

created for myself but I spend way too much time in my head about how I can keep

somebody from either taking their life or ruining their life that I love.

And it's almost like I've been told and told and told where it's like that's all you can do.

But it's as if I don't believe it's true. Like if I do one more thing for this person, they'll get it and I'll have helped them get there.
