[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 620057, member: 17542"] LMS, you are getting good advice but once again realizing you can't control your daughter in law---what she says, what she does, how she does it---and who knows the future? I have been wrong so many times when I "play the movie" that it humbles me. I used to think I could project all outcomes, but I can't. Of course, moving slow and saying little and being kind are always the best courses of action, no matter what the situation is. I also sense you have made tremendous progress on letting go---not just of your difficult child but of all people, places and things, and I hope you don't put that in jeopardy. I am finding when I get too focused on ANYBODY other than myself in terms of fixing or managing or making something happen, I am headed down a slippery slope that won't end well. Peace to you today. I love your image of Standing Back. That is what I am working on, right now. [/QUOTE]
