[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 621944, member: 17461"] Recovering told me once that our children have their own destinies, their own fates and purpose. I took some comfort in that. So much of what happens with our difficult child kids doesn't make sense. It isn't as though they didn't know better than to do what they've done. But when they are afraid, or hurt, or hungry, that whole idea of natural consequences rings hollow. I just want it all to stop. But the world keeps moving. The days pass. I find I am a little stronger. I think about it less. Soon, I dream about it less, wake up in the night fewer times. I know you know the Serenity Prayer already, but I will post it here for you again anyway, pasajes. Someone did that for me after something really bad happened. She told me to read and reread it until I felt it begin to work. I did that. And it helped me. God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The Courage to change the things I can, And the Wisdom to know the difference. The pain will pass, pasajes. Your life will become your own again. The thing you dreaded, the thing you could not believe, has happened. Life has taken a different direction than you ever imagined. I'm so sorry, pasajes. You are strong enough to do this, strong enough to do what is required. Cedar [/QUOTE]
