[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 279651"] One of the reasons I do WW, is a quote by the founder.... "It's choice, not chance, the determines your destiny." It's a hard pill to swallow. Sometimes, I get to my daughter when I say to her..."The drama being created here is too much for me and those around you." or something like that. I tell her as nicely as I can that the drama SHE is causing/or helping to create is making others unhappy and/or uncomfortable. Creating drama is almost always a choice. People often can let one or even a few poor choices go by, but more than that is asking much...probably too much. husband asked difficult child is going to the wedding was causing her too much anxiety. She said it was. We asked her if she would prefer NOT to go and right away she sai "yes." We suggested that we might take her to her favorte restaurant upon our return. She liked that idea alot. She "seems" fine wit the idea of staying home. She does not seem sad...she seems almost relieved. To my surprise, our son seems a little sad and a little conflicted. He is riding the roller coaster...with me. I am sooo tired...so sick of it. But I also understand. It is ashame. I can tell you that I have tried my hardest...but I can't do it all. I feel sad that difficult children choices are limited, but I do wish she would take the choices she has at her disposal and work within her limitations. She doesn't always do that. I am hurting at the moment...but know it can and will get better. Good thoughts/prayers greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
