[QUOTE="Fran, post: 174255, member: 3"] Daisy, it's always a shock to see our easy child's struggle past the normal amount of struggle. You know your easy child has been on the fast track to burn out. My philosophy is if something is broke, get expert opinion, maybe a second opinion then get it fixed. No use wandering pretending she has it all together when in fact she has normal vulnerabilities. I assured my easy child that although he is a wonderful young man and highly self motivated that he is NOT perfect. He has to allow himself to be human and to not try to portray that perfection to the world when in fact he is falling apart. My goal is not to have a perfect, successful child. My goal is to have a son who is happy, balanced and understands himself. The rest of the world's opinion is of no importance to me. She is a good girl, a good mommy and hopefully a good wife. Her husband should be the person who should be her support and her shoulder in addition to you. She doesn't have to prove to anyone that she is a super anything. She has to love her life, her husband, her child, her family, her job and be at peace with the limitations life puts on all of us. Hugs. Sorry I just got home so I didn't have time to read the responses. I'll try to get to them and hopefully I didn't repeat what everyone else said. I know you love this child and have a great deal of respect for her. It's not unusual for the most stable, most successful to have periods of uncertainty or instability. It's part of their growing process and ours(as parents of adult children) [/QUOTE]
