This may well be the most insane question ever posed. Nonetheless, I shall ask.
Is there any way that a parent can legally separate from an adult child? My 29 year old daughter has brought immense sorrow and destruction to the entire family. She is deceitful and malicious. I want nothing more to do with her and I wish to be able to accomplish this complete severance, legally.

No, but ifyou don't want anything to do with her, don't, don't call, don't see her, don't answer her calls, don't let her visit,

The legal could not stop the physical, that is something you just have to do.

I have adult children who are alcoholics.. as I grow old and have complications with health issues.. I want to legally , and physically protect myself from them... what's rights do they have over me.? I don't trust them. I want to legally separate all biological rights to me.

What are my options to do this legally?

Please delete your e-mail address. That is not allowed on this forum.

If you have cause to fear for your personal safety, seek a protective order.

If you are concerned that they may in the future seek some sort of guardianship over you (alleging that you are incapacitated, perhaps), consult with an attorney about providing for someone of your choosing, should that eventuality arise.

And, of course, have the attorney revise your will so as to disinherit them.

I have been looking many places for a thread as this... There are many on abused children, but little on abused parents. I have been abused by my only child for over 20 years.. She has beat me, cursed me, blames me for everything. The worst is she makes up lies about me, and slanders me to all she can. I have been feeling no love for her the last few years, it is as if she drained the love from me. She still tries to mess with my mind, but I try to keep little contact with her. She has killed so much in me, I feel a pain I can not explain. She has no kids, and would never understand the horrible life I lived as a single patent with no money. I think I may have spoiled her to overcompensate but at this point I just want to forget her. I do not think she will get better. She sees a toxic phych who pumps her with drugs and tells her how evil I am, vased on her delusionsal stories. So I am in a no win situation. Sometimes I just want to change all my numbers and never see her again, I think 20 + years of abuse is enough.

I am so sorry, I know exactly what your going through. These adult kids can sure convince people of ow terrible we are as parents, Yet as parents, there is no help because most people think It must have been something we ndid to screw our kids up. I am there with you. I just changed my phone number, now I am ready to move away. I can't stand the hurt and drama that my children bring in my life. I loved them more then anything, now I am getting numb, I don't know what I feel anymore. I used to be hurt, now I am getting angry that this vicious cycle will not stop. Good luck and I hope you find peace in your life as well.
