[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 329022, member: 3353"] Thanks, guys. I remember when we were living through the worst of it. The question in my secret heart then was whether I would ever come out the other side. It was such a comfort to me when one of the more experienced parents would touch base with us. I am glad to be one of those role models of survival for those of us still going through it. The things the more experienced parents are telling us are true. We cannot control a single thing our children are doing. The only things we can control are our responses to the terrible situations the kids put themselves into. It's a different kind of parenting than what we might have known, but it is the only way we can survive drug addicted or manipulative-for-any-reason children, I think. The links Suz has listed at the bottoms of her posts are excellent, and will help us learn to cope with the situations our children are in in a healthier way ~ both for them, and for us. ************ Speaking of which...you guys are not going to believe this one! So, I decided to come back and go through that detachment site at the end of Suz' posts. (When I first took a mini-gander at it, I was really impressed with the information there.) Ahem. So, I am reading through this material, and I realize THIS IS THE SAME SITE I HAVE LISTED AT THE ENDS OF MY POSTS. Too funny! :) Good information, though. I just couldn't believe that I hadn't recognized it! With as much time as I used to spend on the detachment site, you would think every word would have been burned into my memory forever! HA!
