[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764414, member: 18958"] We are here on this forum because our children do not "man up." We have trouble letting go because we love them. I think the key is "acceptance." There is a place where knowing they are who they are (reality) meets acceptance of that reality. We suffer because we want to change them and that is not in our hands. We can, however, accept reality. But accepting reality requires strong boundaries. There can be no waffling. This is what Deni's thread is about I think. It's hard to see our kids so impressionable, unrealistic, and vulnerable. It's painful. But fighting it is worse. [/QUOTE]
