[QUOTE="witzend, post: 46063, member: 99"] I wish I had more advice to offer. Letting go is a long slow process which we do for our kids whatever their state of mind is. Of course it is harder when their behavior is so irrational to us. In hind sight in my children's lives, my worries about them only made a difference to me, because they couldn't have given two cents about me or what I thought or wanted. You're a long way from that, and rightly so. I would refer you again to the Serenity Prayer. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; (my children's choices) courage to change the things I can; (me) and wisdom to know the difference. Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint. [/QUOTE]
