[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 621536, member: 14865"] Bunny, The posters above have written some excellent advice regarding control. I know that it was very hard for me to realize that I really do not have any control over my difficult child or her behavior. She also is 20 years old, but does not behave anywhere nearly as maturely is a 20-year-old should. But her mental illness is to blame, not me. I love her dearly, but I cannot change one thing about her. Only she can do that. I don't know if you're a praying person, but the Serenity Prayer is one that I utter often. And if you look at my signature, you will see my mantra is "Let go, or be dragged" -a Zen proverb. It's really true. Let go and they cannot drag you any more. Good wishes for you this day. [/QUOTE]
