[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 394958, member: 1157"] You're definitely not the only one. I can't understand either of my children's choices ... but I try hard to remember that their choices are, well, *theirs.* I would never do the things they do, make the choices they make, but I'm me. Detaching myself from worrying about those choices as though they were my own, is really difficult sometimes, especially when I see the toll it takes on them, the toll they seem to ignore. But when I find I am worrying about the outcome more than they are, I realize it's a waste of my own precious energy. Why should I let it stress me out, if they aren't even the least bit concerned with it? It's maddening, I know. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
