[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 625923, member: 1550"] We can lose them (in many contexts) whether we love ourselves or not. Our goal in loving ourselves should not be about keeping them around because we can only control us, not them. There is no simple answer. Some of our kids get better. Some stay the same. Some get worse. We are almost all attempting to move on though. THAT we can control...the goodness of our own lives. I do agree that we need to let our grown kids face the consequences of their chosen lifestyles and then, if they seem to like alternative or strange or even dangerous lifestyles, learn to accept their choices. What else can we do? It can be very confusing! [/QUOTE]
