[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 619615, member: 17635"] The thoughts you have shared since I posted the update last night are all so wonderful. Yes, yes, yes. This collective wisdom/experience is just so darn empowering when you are going through crap!! The first time gfg32 had a restraining order on him, I came home after work to get ready for daughter's high school graduation. There is difficult child (about 20 at the time), obviously drunk. He was ranting and raving and he was [I]going to put a restraining order on HER[/I] (girlfriend). So, he hopped on his bike and took off for the police station. He ended up in jail for public intox...his first incarceration. All of us were numb and a momentous occasion for our daughter was marred. Immediately after the ceremony, my parents went to the jail to visit gfg32---they could not get in, of course. I remember begging difficult child, [I]Don't do this. It's your sister's graduation![/I] That may have made it all the more enticing. His sister referred to him last week as the "stupid idiot". I didn't get on to her, lol. I too believe in the powerful Word. gfg32 was raised in the church, and was a believer, as far as I know, until college years. My mom has a bible verse for everything - she is a nice, generous person(!) but I don't think the verses are ever used to illustrate something SHE has done wrong. Honestly, I don't think she believes in mental illness, personality disorders, etc. She [B]knows[/B] it is all spiritual weakness or something like that. So, i couldn't reason with her if I could reason with her, haha. The one email she sent gfg32 about parents of adults. oh my goodness. I may post that in the board later just so you can see...it was fully intended as a lecture for husband and me - NOT to walk away. God will judge us if we do. And, you are all 100% correct, I cannot change her thinking. But, she will never give up on trying to change our thinking. I like the win/win thing. (and husband and I are starting to believe the ex(?)girlfriend might be a little crazy. Probably explains why she has been with gfg32 so many years. Yeah, I woke up mad....but happy. :mad: Thanks again for more printable material which helps husband as well. [/QUOTE]
