[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 282954, member: 3388"] Jo, I don't blame you for feeling like, as Star said, you need an airline bag. It is so hard when our difficult children are adults and we have no control. I'm a "newbie" to all of this, but, from the very little experience I have, I know it rots when we can no longer stop our kids from doing things that are only harmful to themselves. Many days, I just want to shake some sense into difficult child 1:angry:... I think the best advice I have is advice you've already been given - Don't look next time. I don't think there is any point in feeling sick over things you can't control. It is so sad that our difficult children have to face nasty consequences from poor decision making. Hopefully, if they learn a valuable lesson from their mistakes, and don't repeat the same one over and over again, then it was worth it. I know it is very difficult for you to watch your difficult child mess up her life. I know how much you love her. Sending you lots of hugs... WFEN [/QUOTE]
