[QUOTE="Star*, post: 389420, member: 4964"] Hey Julie, Thanks for the update. I think about you and SB quite often, and hope the best for you both. Sounds like you've been able to find that fine line, parental balancing act that none of us hope we have to continue into our childrens 20's....but must achieve in order to survive not having a stroke, nervous breakdown or miserable quality of life for ourself. If we're not able to stay strong? When our kids DO need a level head, and we're not that way, we miss out on that opportunity too, and I think we've already missed out on so much. Plus setting an example even during stressful situations speaks well to our character as an adult. The things I didn't know, the behaviors I couldn't exhibit when Dude was falling apart as a younger child? I CAN certainly and have certainly accomplished as an adult and will continue to model. Plus? I think I've learned to lean on a higher power - a lot more and realize I'm not able to do it alone, nor do I have to. Kinda takes all the- no one understands - out of it for me. Keep on keeping on there you tougher than nails kid. I hear ya. I'm here for ya too. I would also tell you that for the next 5 years if you ever have SB over for a sleep over - lock up your money, purse and valuables. Don't care if you have been able to trust her for 4.5 years.......do it for yourself. If she's humble about it? She would never say a word. Hugs & love Star [/QUOTE]
