[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 106415, member: 1436"] I think settling softens the blow when the proverbial other shoe drops. It protects your heart. You can say---well, at least he didn't....he isn't.... So many times in the past I have been disappointed by difficult child's choices. Now that I am truely detached---I view his life like I view the nightly news---I can think---oh how sad, but it doesn't hurt anymore than if he were a stranger----at least most of the time it doesn't. I'm not surprised anymore. I don't get excited when he is doing the right thing because too often, when I have, kerplunk---a shoe to the heart! My dreams for him no longer exist. He must begin to dream for himself. God, I sound jaded. [/QUOTE]
