If you allow fear to control, your thoughts, desires, feelings and actions then you aren't in control in a positive way.
As a former control worry wart (not 100% there but pretty close) I want to remind you of this piece of advice you've posted earlier, also, that I think you are right by accepting that it is not your place to control her in any way. It took great growing pains, but I've let my H go, if he wants to stay with ow, drink himself stupid and what have you, then that's on him, I will continue to focus on me and the kids. I'll let him lay on the mess he's made and just pray for him, pray that that good man he was surfaces, in the meantime I dont' want to be squirming each time H has a craziness episode, I'm unhitching my car from his crazy rollercoaster.
My prayers your way)))))))) these verses has helped me these past days, as I agonized about the fate of my M: He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:29,31
It is my prayer today that your soul is free from fear and that as you run you will not grow weary, as you walk you do not be faint)))))))
